In reply to Jennifer. Thanks so much for the kind words, Jennifer! I'm so happy to hear you're finding my blog helpful. I don't have any recipes for mirror glaze but it's a technique I'm hoping to try someday! I'll be sure to let you know when I do.

Thank you Whitney for sharing your talents! I love how you are interactive and actually help others as well! I will definitely be using these techniques for a cake I’m making today. Actually using similar colors except gold instead of chocolate. Do you have any recipes for mirrored glaze/icing?
Thanks again!!

In reply to Tahmina. Hi Tahmina! I have never worked with chantilly cream before, but as long as it's tintable and will spread like the buttercream in this tutorial it should be perfectly fine to use.

Hi Whitney! This came looks beautiful! Do you think I could do the same on a cake with cream cheese plus whipped cream icing (Chantilly cream).. using the same Chantilly cream?
Appreciate your advice!

In reply to Sally. Hi Sally! The colder the cake is, the quicker it will "set" the additional buttercream colors you swipe on, so my best tips are to 1) chill in the refrigerator instead of the freezer for the specified amount of time in this tutorial and 2) work quickly with the colored buttercream. Hope that helps!

Hey! So I placed the watercolor effect on cake however as I was trying to spread the color with the smoothing tool, the colors would spread. They kind of just stayed in place. It seemed like they were so stiff but I know my icing wasn’t stiff. It is because the cake was in the freezer for 15 min before so I couldn’t spread on the base? Any tips appreciated!

In reply to Maliha. Hi Maliha! You can certainly use pink and blue with this method. You might have some color mixing happen where they overlap, but to prevent that you can do one color first, refrigerate it for a few minutes to let it set up some, and then add the next color. Hope that helps!

I love this so pretty! I was wondering if I could do the same thing but with shades of pink and blue? Do you think it would look okay or would it all just turn purple? I was thinking that it would probably be better to do one colour (for example the pink shades) first and then do the other colour after- to prevent mixing and turning purple. Please let me know your thoughts
