Is there anything better than pink ruffles? Especially delicious pink ruffles? This sweet little cake was for an adorable 1 year old.
I have really been enjoying the buttercream cakes I’ve been doing for these fun Smash Cake sessions. I’m enjoying making these for Chelsea Peterson Photography’s one year cake smash photoshoots. I need a few more one year olds to book with her so I can make a few more!
I’m starting to teach buttercream frosted cakes at Gygi’s again this month, April 17th and 24th, in the evenings. Including this cake! I used an extra large petal tip to create these large ruffles, held at about a 45 degree angle and ruffled. The hardest part is what to do where the ruffles and smooth top meet. But a small bead border where they meet was perfect.
Seriously so cute! This is a new one, with the large ruffles And I think it turned out GREAT! Such a pretty pink too. I think it would look good in a ombre as well.
The adorable banner is from Poofy Cheeks. I believe the really cute headband is as well. She makes really adorable items!
And the part everone loves the best. The actual SMASHING!!! So cute with the headband and tutu!
And a rare, but totally adorable, behind the scence shot!
If you want to learn how I frost all these buttercream cakes I’m now teaching two online classes with more on the way! Anything you really want to learn?

Love the ruffle cake! What tip number did you use for the ruffles? Thank you linda
Ashlee
Sadly my tips are still missing since the move! it’s driving me batty, all my gel color’s too, I’m having to rebuy as I need things. I BELIEVE it’s a wilton #127, or another large petal tip, like 1 inch long.

This is adorable!!!! I would love to try to make one like it for my daughter’s bday this month. Do you by any chance know what size tip the dots were made with?? I like the size ratio with the ruffles. Wonderful job!!
Ashlee Marie
I don’t remember, probably a 5 or 6, you just squeeze more or less to get the size you want so the tip size isn’t quite as important.

Would a 104 petal tip also work for this? I know they wouldn’t be as big but it would still be the same affect right? I am supposed to be making a ruffle cake in a couple of weeks and I have no experience in doing them what so ever
Ashlee Marie
yes any petal tip will give the same effect, they just won’t be the same size
