3. Buttercream
Tip: You can use meringue, Italian buttercream or your own favourite recipe.
4. Top Tier
Tip: You can attach an organza bow which also looks great.
5. Finishing Touches
Paul opts to use drinking glasses as pillars for the tiers, make sure to push these down firmly and glue them down with edible glue if required. A small cutting of fresh foliage is added to the glasses, this looks brilliant against the yellows of the Frangipani.
The Magdalena’s are added to each of the bottom two tiers followed by the top tier cake. Extra green leaves are added in between the Magdalena’s and also all around the base of the top tier cake.
Tip: You can use pearls on the board.
