I just realized today that I never shared Lego Boy’s birthday cake from last year! He asked for a Tall yellow cake with a white 7 on it. That was it! So I figured it was a good time to try out a new ruffle I wanted to use as a smash cake option.
Because the cake was so tall everyone made fun of it, saying it looked like a corn of cob. They were totally right, we laughed about it all night! I cropped the bottom off so you guys can see the ruffle more than just a corn of cob!
It wasn’t his year for a big party, just a family event, so we had his favorite dinner, the yellow cake and Lego kit’s! The perfect evening in his opinion!
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?

Would be awesome for my daughter’s party!
What tips did you use to get such a great double ruffle?
Thanks!

I used a petal tip, like 104…. did the left side ruffle, then the right side ruffle, then took a tip 5 and ran it down where the ruffles met.
