I just wanted a subtle colour to bring something to the cake, and then have a nice base.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a few ways of getting white buttercream, one of which is colour. I often use a liquid white colouring but it&#8217;s harder and harder to get hold of &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3rXMEI6\">this powder<\/a> however is very good at helping to whiten buttercream.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It also helps to beat the butter on it&#8217;s own for a good while to lighten itself naturally, and you can also add in a tiny amount of purple colouring to counteract the yellow undertones to create a whiter looking frosting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/30thBirthdayCake9-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/30thBirthdayCake9-2.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/30thBirthdayCake9-2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/30thBirthdayCake6-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/30thBirthdayCake6-2.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/30thBirthdayCake6-2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Drip<\/h3>\n<p>Because I was just having fun with the decoration and sort of making it up on the spot, the drip is also a little random. I used the same recipe idea as before with a mix of milk chocolate, dark chocolate and double cream melted together as I just love it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It can sometimes be hard to be &#8216;random&#8217; when it comes to the decoration of a cake like this, but you really just have to try and not overthink it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I did sections of drips around the side of the cake to be a little similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/2021\/11\/03\/my-blogs-7th-birthday\/\">my blogs 7th birthday cake<\/a> which I loved.

I then added on swirls of leftover buttercream, macarons, sprinkles, the drip and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can do whatever you fancy!
