    Beautiful Stained Glass Buttercream Cake by MyCakeSchool.com! Cake Decorating Tutorials & Recipes!

     

    Hi there--In this video you will learn how to create a beautiful stained glass effect in buttercream! We recently posted a video on stained-glass fondant, but found the buttercream option to be a great one also.

    I found this method of piping stained glass to go much more quickly than our hand painted fondant stained glass tutorial. We used a butterfly theme for our stained glass but you can use this method for any design. It's amazing how outlining a design in black can transform it so quickly & dramatically into "stained glass"! --

    I hope that you enjoy the video! Make sure to check beneath the video for additional information!

    Materials

    We started with a 6 inch round, white almond sour cream cake. It was 3 layers and 5 ½ inches tall. The cake is frosted with our Fluffy Vanilla Buttercream recipe (in the recipes section).

    -Use any crusting buttercream frosting. (Non-crusting will be a little trickier because it will be harder to smooth.)
    -Coloring Gels-- I used Americolor Sky Blue, Electric Green, Deep Pink, Super Black, Lemon Yellow, and Orange. (If you plan to
    do any painting, you could also use Bright White)

    Piping Tips: Any small round tips will do. I used a Wilton tip 2 or 3 to pipe the colors onto the butterfly.

      How did you get the sky (base icing color) to differ from blue to white

      Hi Tishawn, when I tinted my buttercream frosting the sky blue shade, I stopped mixing while there were still some swirls of white buttercream. This is completely optional ;0)
