Reposted from @britishgirlbakes - CAKE TIP: To symmetrically place cookies, macarons, candy etc between buttercream swirls on top of a cake, I find it easiest to place the cookies etc first, spacing them evenly around the cake, and then pipe the buttercream swirls between them. If you've just frosted your cake, the frosting will be sticky so you can push the cookies straight in or if the frosting has already set you can pipe a small dollop or line of frosting with a small round tip to secure each cookie. For these swirls I used a @wiltoncakes 1M tip and piped in a spiral, with little circular motions all the way up to the height of the top of the cookies. . I've put my most popular posts with these little tips in my 'Cake Tips' story highlights (the little round icon under my bio on my profile page), in case you're looking for more ๐ . Also, I'll be LIVE on youtube at 12:30pm PST (8:30pm in the UK) - join me to decorate my birthday cake and ask any questions you have! ๐The link is in my stories. . . . #oreocake #cookiesandcream #oreo #cookiesandcreamcake #pipingtips #pipingnozzles #1M #wiltoncakes #frosting #piping #cakes #cake #buttercreamcakes #cakevideos #cakeideas #cakeart #cakeinspiration #cakeinspo #cakedecorator #baker #cakecakecake #cakegram #cakestagram #cakesofinsta #cakesofig #cakeporm #satisfying https://www.instagram.com/p/BxPGr6uHut_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y5oi32x5xbu1
