  • The makings of this striped buttercream beauty ✨ I’ve been loving this @wiltoncakes cake comb I picked up from my local @joann_stores for making perfect, evenly spaced stripes! I’ve learned so much about the process (including what NOT to do and some KEY must-do’s) that I whipped up an entire tutorial and YouTube video to share it all. Link is in my bio 💗 after striping this cake with fuschia buttercream I added some eye-catching @sweettoothfairy sprinkles and gum balls (both found at @joann_stores 🙌🏽) to make it pop 🤩 now I wanna stripe allll the cakes! #handmadewithjoann #ad
  • An elegant baby shower cake in the most romantic color palette 😍 I painted on a combination of @americolor peach, dusty rose, and maroon buttercreams to get the watercolor effect 👩🏽‍🎨 then I dripped a little white chocolate ganache and topped it all off with some pretty piping and @sprinklepop.shop Vintage Rose Gold sprinkles 🎉 flavors underneath are my vanilla cake, raspberry buttercream filling, and lemon buttercream frosting ✨
  • Ever since I picked up a Wilton icing comb from my local @joann_stores my striped buttercream cakes have been more flawless than ever ✨ the icing comb is essential to getting perfectly even stripes every time! After lots of practice (and learning what NOT to do) I’ve gathered my best tips for success and put them all in an easy-to-follow tutorial to help you achieve striped cake perfection 🙌🏽 it’s all on the blog TODAY (video included!) 🎉 click the link in my bio to see! #ad #handmadewithjoann
  • Most of my cake recipes call for cake flour as opposed to all-purpose flour, mainly because it’s the secret to getting the lightest, fluffiest cakes ever! 👩🏽‍🍳I get a lot of questions about whether or not it’s possible to substitute all-purpose flour, and while I don’t recommend it (it weighs down the cake and makes it more dense), there IS an easy way to turn all-purpose flour into cake flour 🙌🏽 I’m sharing the recipe + instructions for homemade cake flour on my blog TODAY! ✨ perfect for all the times you need cake flour but only have all-purpose flour on hand. Click the link in my bio for the recipe and instructional YouTube video 🎉 PS the cake slice pictured is my lemon cake with tasty (and oh so pretty!) blueberry buttercream 😍🍋💗
  • For all the lemon lovers 🍋🙌🏽 this lemon layer cake and lemon cream cheese buttercream make the perfect pair! After tons of testing, I’ve finally found the ideal lemon cake recipe that’s fluffy, moist, packed with flavor, and has the perfect amount of rise ✨I filled and frosted it with lemon cream cheese buttercream (flavored with a little fresh lemon juice 🍋) to really enhance that sweet zing 🎉 throw a few oven dried lemon slices on top and you’ve got yourself the ultimate lemon cake! Click the recipe link in my bio for all of it 🤩🎂
  • Chocolate cake + rainbow sprinkles 🌈🥳 my easiest (one-bowl!) chocolate cake recipe and favorite chocolate buttercream are a perfect pair, both on the blog (search “chocolate cake” at sugarandsparrow.com to find them) 🎉 and these “Rainbow Road” sprinkles by @sprinklepop.shop just look amazing on anything 🙌🏽
