Adding texture to your cake with buttercream is a great way to enhance the design and bring movement to the cake. There are lots of different options – some of the current popular designs include rosettes, stucco, petals, swirls…and more.

For the 10th anniversary celebration of The Wedding Café we created an assortment of textured ivory buttercream cakes arranged in a satellite display.
Piped buttercream rosette design. Totally floral and fun! =)
Rustic vertical texture.
Piped ruffles lined with a row of piped pearls makes this cake cute and dainty.
Stucco! Very rustic, country style.
Horizontal striping of different widths makes this texture very clean and elegant while still being unique 😉

Teresa and John chose an all-white buttercream base and with an abstract design of pearlized sugar petals over a 3-tier cake for their wedding at Lanikuhonua. The petals were thicker at the bottom, and with less towards the top of the cake.
The 3D ruffled gumpaste flower petals colored in a shimmering pearl laid out on a flat, smooth matte white buttercream base cake is what gave this cake lots of dimension and movement. The petals resemble capiz shells which is perfect if you are looking for a tropical cake with a modern twist.
