Hi Kirsten! It’s not hard to pipe on the side of the cake, but it can be nerve wracking if you haven’t done it before. You’ll use the same piping techniques you used for your cupcakes, only you’ll be holding the bag more horizontally than vertical. My biggest advice would be to make sure your buttercream consistency is thickened for piping so that the details don’t droop. Here’s more info on that: https://sugarandsparrow.com/buttercream-consistency/

This looks so fun! I want to try it! I have piped cupcakes like this but I am worried it will be really hard to do it on the side?? Any tips, or am I over thinking it? 🙂

In reply to Yasodhaa. Hi Yasodhaa! Wow, it must be really hot where you live. White chocolate has a melting point of about 86-90ºF (or 30-32ºC), so it all depends on the temperature of your environment, whether or not the cake will be in the direct sun, etc. That being said, if you're concerned about the temperature and the chocolate melting, I would consider making the cake topper out of gumpaste or fondant. You can still wet the surface of gumpaste or fondant and add sprinkles to achieve relatively the same look, but the topper won't melt. Hope that helps!

Hi! I’m going to attempt this. Was just wondering how long the white choc topper lasts outside of the fridge? I made another white choc topper last weekend (probably half the thickness of yours) and it only lasted about 15 mins out of the fridge. We’re in the middle of summer where I live. Thanks in advance!

I love using my vanilla cake recipe and my chocolate cake recipe for cakes like this. My vanilla cake recipe is here: https://sugarandsparrow.com/vanilla-cake-recipe/ (and you can turn it into a funfetti cake by adding about 3/4 cup of sprinkles coated in 1 Tbsp flour). My chocolate cake recipe is here: https://sugarandsparrow.com/chocolate-cake-recipe/
