🌸Easy Buttercream Flower Cakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These Hydrangea Mini Cakes were first published in 2017, and since then, they’ve become a beloved SugarHero reader favorite. Hundreds of people have made them–and made them their own, including changing the colors, making them into a cupcake<\/a> bouquet, making full-size cake versions<\/a>, and even turning them into wedding cakes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to see why these cakes are so popular. Their pretty pastel blooms look fancy, but they’re surprisingly easy to decorate. (My husband said he could do it himself, and that is SAYING SOMETHING.) They’re a good project for someone dipping their toe into cake decorating<\/a>, and don’t require much in the way of special equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, they’re not all about the looks–they taste fantastic, too! My Hydrangea Cakes are made with a velvety white cake batter. It’s super soft and tender, with the most delicate crumb and a soft vanilla flavor. If you’re looking for a shortcut, though, the good news is that this decorating technique works equally well with cake mix cakes, so go with whatever works for you! <\/p>\n\n\n
