Periwinkle Cake With Swiss Dots And Fondant Bow

Periwinkle Cake With Swiss Dots And Fondant Bow on Cake Central

This stacked cake is iced smooth with periwinkle colored buttercream (color achieved using Wilton Cornflower Blue and some Violet). Added larger sized white buttercream swiss dots.

This was my first and only attempt so far at a fondant bow. I have some practicing to do.......

I add 1/4 corn syrup to 6 cups of buttercream (after I have finished mixing). This thins out my icing so I am able to get an initially smooth cake. Then, I let it crust over for at least 1/2 hour. I then use parchment paper and my warm hand to smooth the cake. Works very well on the edges too.
