Every new cake trend highlights the vast amount of talent in this world. Thanks to social media, bakers everywhere are able to share their work and people like us are fortunate to enjoy the beauty they create and feel inspired to try something new. ENTER: the buttercream painted cake trend. Oh my gosh, have you guys seen these cakes on your Instagram feed? I’ve been swooning over them for so long now but I still can’t even wrap my head around skill involved. If only I could paint a fraction as well simply on canvas. Much like oil painting with a palette knife, these artists use cake as their canvas and buttercream as their paint. And the results are incredible! I know you’re going to love these cakes as much as I do. Here’s 10 Buttercream Painted Cakes!
