This looks so amazing! I plan on making my friend a leopard print baby shower cake! Thank you for this helpful tutorial ❤

[@cathysmith5079]

So you covered the cake in fondant first, then the crusting buttercream, then the spots? If so wow!

[@elenassweetthings]

It is all buttercream…. 👍

What color did you use for the spots? And did
You put in fridge before you used paper towel on it. It’s beautiful. I have my first request for cheetah this weekend. So loved your
Video. You have some beautiful cakes

[@elenassweetthings]

Oh gosh… I believe it was golden brown by decopac? No, paper towel right away, I use crusting buttercream so by the time I do spots, it’s ready to pat down.. hope this helps! Sending you positive vibes!💕

[@antoinettegoodson7167]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Just wondering whether you allowed it to refrigerate prior to smoothing with the paper towel, or was the paper towel dampened? Thanks again! 🙂

[@elenassweetthings]

No and no 😊 it’s crusting buttercream, so just what you see in the video.. thank you for watching 💕💕

[@charaecaldwell9735]

How long did you have to wait for the buttercream to crust?

[@Marshmallow20_80]

What a fabulous cake. I want to make it tomorrow for my daughter. I can't find the box that you've mentioned for ratios of ingredients for the gold crusting buttercream. Is it 1:2 ratio of butter to icing sugar? Hope you read this before tomorrow 😊

[@elenassweetthings]

The link for icing recipe is in a description box under the video… or you can find it in my playlist under icing… 💕

[@Dreamysleepynighty]

Hi what are you using to dab the cheetah print? I’ve to make one tomorrow. Thanks so much for this tutorial 💖🤗

[@elenassweetthings]

Thank you 😊 I used Viva paper towel and my crusting buttercream .. good vibes for tomorrow!! 💕

What is the black balls you are putting along the bottom border? I am making a leopard cake for my granddaughters 2nd birthday next week, and this is very helpful!!!

[@elenassweetthings]

Thank you! Black fondant balls 👍

[@Yvvyvuuu]

Se puede hacer con chantilly?

[@ashleypietruszewski8351]

Can I use black decorating icing instead of making the black buttercream?

[@elenassweetthings]

i never buy store icings, I am not sure what that is, can’t help you, sorry… all I can say is try? See how it holds up, see if it’s ok after being refrigerated ?

[@bambivavra1894]

How does the icing not come off on the paper towel? I’m sorry I’m new and trying to learn so much. If you don’t mind answering, thank you.

[@elenassweetthings]

I use crusting buttercream, you can find a link to the recipe in the description box, I use all high ratio shortening in mine . Hope this helps!

[@mattiemitchum8411]

Did you chill the cake before you flattened the gold and black icing with the paper towel?

[@elenassweetthings]

No

[@mfrenc6]

Is this all buttercream or has fondant?

[@lajoyashaw6439]

This cake has fondant with buttercrean icing on top of it.
