Do you recommend a particular brand of gumpaste?

Hi Bec! You’ll just triple the ingredients, no need to triple the mixing time. Enjoy!

I need to make 3 batches of buttercream. Do I just triple the ingredients and follow instructions as is or do I need to triple the whipping time for butter/sugar etc?
Thank you,
Bec x.

Hi Holly! I usually dry them on a wax or parchment lined cookie sheet and then put them in an airtight container once they’re dry. Be sure to store them in a dark place like your pantry – too much sun exposure will make the colors fade. Hope that helps!

Hi Holly! Excited for you to make this cake! This is actually three 6″ cake layers (I baked three separate cakes), but you could easily replicate this tutorial with three 8″ layers. Here’s a tutorial on how to fill and stack cake layers if you need it: https://sugarandsparrow.com/fill-and-stack-cake-layers/

Do I make one 8in cake a cut it into three layers or do I make 3 8” cakes and stack them on top of each other

Hi Alissa! I never follow the color charts since I never work with such exact measurements of frosting/gum paste/etc. Instead, I just use a toothpick to apply a little bit of color gel at a time until I like what I see! Hope that helps and I’m excited for you to make this cake to celebrate your kiddos!

The wilton Color right system is based on 2 cups of buttercream. Obviously the gum paste is a different medium…did you still follow the chart for number of drops for each color? thanks for this easy to follow tutorial!
