Hi Noe! I love ermine frosting and although I have never personally tried to color it, I just Googled to see if anyone else has done that before. It looks like ermine frosting is easy to color! I’d say go for it 🙂

Do you think it will work with ermine buttercream? Do you have any experience coloring that frosting? Thanks a ton 🙂

Yes, the strokes are like a swiping motion. You’ll add some buttercream to your spatula/palette knife and press it to the cake while swiping upward. Hope that helps!

The tutorial was so fast it was hard to tell how you applied it. Is it more of a swiping stroke

Hi Dorothy! For this technique I use my vanilla buttercream recipe as-is: https://sugarandsparrow.com/vanilla-buttercream-recipe it’s not super stiff, more of a medium consistency. Hope that helps!

Hi Bahar! I don’t chill the cake in between colors. They don’t mix too easily when you layer them one at a time.

In order not to get the colors mixed, do we need to chill after each color before adding the next color? Thank you so much

Hi Freya, the cake doesn’t need to be refrigerated after the spatula strokes are added unless you’re using a frosting that requires refrigeration. The buttercream recipe I link to in this post doesn’t require refrigeration. Enjoy!

Would the whole cake need to be kept chilled after the spatula strokes are added or can it be kept ambient?
Many thanks,
Freya
