Now this is pretty.

And the flowers look good, and I don't see the sides rolling downhill, so you did something right!!

Thank you so much ladies for the sweet comments and the tips.

Betty.. Will try the extra powdered sugar, didn't think of it at all. I was told that 50/50 butter & Crisco would help, but I fear it might affect the taste.

Definitely Katy they hate each other :D... Especially our hot weather here, we're talking around 32-36 celsius. Andy yes Goreti, I had my bags alternating inside the freezer, an ice pack is easier though ;)

And Sandra I've been thinking of you & Betty all the time!! LOL.. I'll tell you what I did? I piped the flowers onto parchment paper, dropped into the freezer then transferred all onto the cake top... They were still melting though! But that's way easier than piping directly on the cake.

Looks pretty--I have trouble myself with buttercream in summer.  My hands get too hot and it melts.  What I do is alternate colors and place the color not using on top on an ice pack.  Seems to help.

Your cake looks beautiful, anyway, Mai.  I've tried to pipe flowers about a million times and yours look better than mine.  Some people (Betty) just make it look easy, which it is not!

You're doing fine Mai. When it's really hot I have to add a little extra powdered sugar to my piping butter cream. Flowers hold shape better.Pretty flower colors.

Pretty good thought Mai!  Hot weather and buttercream just don't like each other do they?
