I had no idea where to start with buttercream painting. I’ve seen it for years and always felt too nervous to tackle it but I love the principles I learned here and the brushstrokes/palette strokes, and the idea of layering, intentional placement and focus points, and finishing details. Can’t wait to try on cakes now!
