Hi Melissa,
I was inspired by your amazing marbled buttercream to make my own, in pink and white - it came out perfectly, and I even applied the marble effect to the top of the cake. Thank you so much!

Hi good day 😊. May I ask if is it possible for swiss meringue buttercream?

[@nazifachowdhury6290]

What did you put before the marble to make sure the marble sticks to the cake?

[@kavonnahcoleman5035]

Can this be done using a whipped cream frosting?

[@sushansharma8837]

Can you link the piping tip and piping bag please? And was the piping tip placed inside of the bag? Love the cake By the way 😍

[@sd625]

Is this also possible with royal icing ?

[@rapunzelz5520]

What about using a comb tool on the acetate instead of smoothing?

[@sajnasajjad]

Hi! Can I do the marble design using italian meringue buttercream?

[@mycakeschool]

Hello! I haven't tried, but I would think so!

[@tanzilajamal360]

What kind of buttercream are you using?

[@leahayes4644]

Is the acetate food safe?

[@mycakeschool]

Yes it is! At least the acetate that I used is made for use with cakes and pastries, etc.

[@rosemaryugoji2862]

I tried this out but after a while at room temperature the Buttercream started to sweat. How do I manage such situation

[@mycakeschool]

Hi Rosemary, it's common for the buttercream cake to sweat a little when it moves from the refrigerator (or freezer) to room temperature. The bigger the temperature increase from freezer or fridge to countertop, the more condensation will happen. But as it sits, the condensation will evaporate. You can speed up the process by placing it in front of a fan (this is true for fondant as well). In summer months, this is more of an issue as the kitchen is warmer. Humidity can cause this also. I hope this helps!

[@PaperCraftArtist]

That cake is awesome ! I need something sweet asap :P LEt;s be frnds

[@terrytharp816]

Acetate, where do I find it

[@mycakeschool]

You can find it on Amazon and probably online cake shops as well- here's an affiliate link : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GPD42B4/ref=as_li_tl?tag=mycakcom-20&ie=UTF8&linkId=67c94c33cd72a7ef51505403d9fb8c2c
