Knitted Buttercream Cake

Making your buttercream cake look like a knitted sweater is a huge trend in cake decorating right now. And it's not all that difficult, either. This is how I made it.

I'm using two small star piping tips today.
 And I placed them in piping bags with white buttercream.
 I frosted my cake.
 Then I took the larger of the two tips and piped a few v-shapes in a vertical line.
And I did this at regular intervals around the cake.

 Then I piped a vertical line between the v-lines. Then between the vertical line and the v-lines, I piped another v-line with the smaller piping tip.

 Then, wherever I had gaps, I piped stars.
Finally, I piped the top. I piped a rope border along the edge, then another v-line in a circular formation next to it, a row of dots and finally a swirl in the middle.

 But a had a couple of spots I was annoyed with. I just wasn't completely happy with them.
 So I scraped off a bit of the piping.

 And repiped it on. Here's the final result.
 I love the texture of these cakes.
 And let's be honest, it didn't take that long and wasn't that hard.
 If you like this trend, I would encourage you to try it yourself.
