Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi can anybody advise me how much buttercream I would need to pipe buttercream roses all over two 6″ round cakes. Want to colour the buttercream and don’t want to run out before I’ve finished both cakes. Thanks.

Hi Julesmakescakes

I don’t make butter cream so don’t know how far it goes when piped. Since you’re piping flowers I would suggest making quantities for an 8″ or 9″ cake for each 6″ cake. Better to have some left over than run out of the colour. Hope this makes sense!

Thanks x
