ᗪᖇᗩGOᑎ ᔕᑕᗩᒪEᔕ ᗷTᔕ Here’s a reel showing how I created dragon scales with buttercream. How to: 1. I striped the piping bag with buttercream in 2 accent colors, then filled with the base color. I gently massaged the bag to blend the colors slightly. Using multiple colors helps give the illusion of light reflection. 2. I made a guideline with my cake comb since I wanted a diagonal cascade of scales. I like the smooth hound cake comb from Ester Cakes. 3. I piped a dot of buttercream using a tip 12. For some dots, I rotated the piping bag to vary the color placement. I also used a staggered pattern. 4. Using a pointed shape fingerling comb from Ester Cakes, I gently pressed the dot of buttercream and smeared it to the right. You could also use an offset spatula, spoon or other utensil to create scales. I liked the dimension that the fingerling comb gave. 5. I chilled the cake to firm up the buttercream, and then painted the edge of each scale an edible glitter/vodka blend. I added some extra sparkle to the top of the cake. • Cake combs from Ester Cakes @sweet_escape001 • Silicone cake mat from @nycake #dragoncake #buttercreamscales #dragonscalescake #wlbgram #cakeideas #happylittlecakers #cakesbae #dessertbae #thebakefeed #cakemasters #caketrends #lisacarolbakes
