How to Make a Striped Buttercream Cake

We made this video for MyCakeSchool.com's member section a few years ago, but the striped buttercream trend using this technique is EVERYWHERE now! So, we decided to move it to our free tutorials section as well as here on YouTube. Find all of the details in the posts linked below!

I love the clean look of striped buttercream, and this method is so great because it uses a tool that many cake decorators already have in their cake supplies- a cake comb!

Depending on the spacing of your cake comb, you can create cakes with wide stripes, thin stripes, and so on. The cake in this tutorial has thin stripes, and I love the look- but I later bought a comb that creates wider stripes which is nice because the process it is faster! ;0)

Have fun experimenting! If your stripes aren't perfect from the beginning, don't worry! With just a little practice, you will have your perfect stripes in no time. One of the most important steps for me is to chill the combed cake before filling in the stripes. It helps things to stay where they belong as you sweep around the cake with your bench scraper. Enjoy the video!
