buttercreamcake – Bembum Kithcen

My love for buttercream cakes goes back to my very early childhood.
I still remember my fifth birthday when my Mum presented me with a lovely Vanilla Buttercream Cake with frills, buttercream flowers and farm animal theme decorations on top.

Kitschy, gaudy, and ornate; layers of buttercream frosting, pastel colours, lace and swirls 🥰

From that point, Vintage Buttercream Cake has become of the cake style that I truly love; my birthday cake was the highlight of my year 😅.
I love looking at them, smelling them, eating them and most importantly now I can make it 😊

I have always cared about how cake looks just as much as how it tastes 🥲

Before you start making any of this recipes, I recommended that you carefully read through my top tips (or watch my videos) for baking the perfect sponge cake and making the buttercream.

As for the decorations, buttercream flowers elevate any dessert and making them is much easier than you think

If you follow the simple advice given in the recipe, you should avoid the dissapointment when making this cake.

The most important things to have are the right piping tips, buttercream that’s the correct consistency and a little patience

If you’ve never piped with buttercream before, doing some practicing can help!
You can pipe right onto a cake board for practice and then scrape it off and reuse the buttercream.

Everything might seem difficult at first, but once you perfect an action, it will seem like you can do it easily (kindly find the completed instructions in the video).

Here I’m using my **“Fluffy Vanilla Sponge Cake”** and **“Grit Free, Less Sweet American Buttercream”**

This fluffy sponge cake is not too sweet, light and stays moist even if stored in the refrigerator for several days. It also goes well with a variety of fillings.

The buttercream is super smooth that pipes like a dream, doesn’t crust over.
You can find the complete recipes in the link below.

If you’re looking for a slice of cream cake with old-school buttercream, this is a recipe you must try! 😍

Even though trends come and go in this day and age, there’s always something timeless about the joy that comes from childhood memories.

And while we’re at it, why not enjoy a fun trip down memory lane with this retro cake.

I hope you will love and appreciate the beauty of this Vintage Buttercream Cakes as much as I do 🤗
