I love surprises, so I was thrilled when I was asked to create a surprise 60th birthday cake with matching cupcakes. Only request from the customer was pink & purple icing.
I used the opportunity to make my first ruffle cake. You can add ruffles to your by using a rose petal tip. The smaller the tip, the teenier & tighter the ruffles.
I chose a small rose tip in order to make the small cake appear quite delicate and soft with the tiny ruffles. Just hold the rose tip perpendicular to the base, zigzagging back & forth until you reach the top.
The cupcakes had 1M buttercream swirls in pink & purple to compliment the top cake. Very pretty in pink & purple.
