Carve buttercream with this technique.
0:02
Start by frosting a cake over the crumb
0:03
coat with what looks like the final
0:05
coat, and then chill it and repeat with
0:07
another layer of frosting, but a
0:08
different color, so the cake has two
0:10
final coats of frosting. Chill the cake
0:13
for at least an hour in the fridge, and
0:14
then dip clay modeling tools into hot
0:16
water. Dry them off and carve. You can
0:19
cut lines revealing the color
0:20
underneath, or twist a hook tool to
0:22
carve out little dots, or spin a round
0:25
tool to carve out spheres. Dip the tool
0:27
into hot water after each shape you
0:29
carve to keep it warm, so that it glides
0:31
effortlessly through the top layer of
0:32
buttercream. Are you as obsessed with
0:35
this technique as I am? Follow British
