Hi fellow Whitney! I have successfully made buttercream flowers with cream cheese frosting before! It is a little softer than other American buttercream recipes but this is the recipe I use: https://sugarandsparrow.com/cream-cheese-buttercream-recipe/

Hi Whitney! I’d like to make a red velvet cake and create the same flowers but I was wondering if one could use a cream cheese buttercream frosting and still create the same structure of flowers? Do you think the consistency of icing would be different making it difficult to make them?
Thank you!

Hi Charlie! It’s been so long since I’ve sold my cakes I have no idea. But if you’re looking for info on pricing cakes, my friend Chelsey wrote a great article on the subject: https://chelsweets.com/cake-pricing-guide-how-to-price-a-cake/

Hi Maureen! So excited for you to make this for your grandma’s 80th! You can store the flowers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, so you should be totally good there. Here’s some more tips on making cakes/decor ahead of time: https://sugarandsparrow.com/making-cakes-ahead/

Hello,
Thank you for all of the tips and very clear explanations ! It makes me want to try this cake for my grandma’s 80’s birthday.
However I will be working a lot the two days before her birthday. Do you have any idea about how long can the flowers be kept in the fridge for ? I could do them on the Wednesday (ideally) or on the Thursday to have the cake on the Saturday night.
Thank you so much !!
