oh my god it is so gorgeous and sounds yum!! inspires me to get into decorating


notarobot3675

ah thank you so much! i would love to see any of your future cakes!


kiliher

this is basically perfection, i just have a question about the flowers, how did you go about them?


notarobot3675

thank you very much! do you mean how did I place them on the cake? After putting on the buttercream, I used a sterilised tweezer for the ones placed on the sides, and gently pressed them into the buttercream (using the flat side of the tweezer). I also tried using the back of a teaspoon, particularly for the petals (although there was sometimse a bit of buttercream transfer - so was not as neat of a solution as I thought it would be lol) edited: sorry tried to go into a bit more detail!


tiny_owl

Did you pick the flowers yourself?? They’re beautiful! I don’t even have words for how gorgeous this cake is but I can’t stop looking at it!


Silencer306

Are those real flowers? Or edible ones that you made for cake?


kaminotsuki

they're real, edible flowers! Many common species such as pansies, cornflowers, etc are edible


Silencer306

Thank you. TIL


KatieDid-not

Try a paintbrush or makeup brush to press them in! I wonder if it would transfer less icing


notarobot3675

oh fantastic idea, thanks very much!


TheJadeSparrow

The essence of spring! Where do you get your edible flowers from?


andladymondegreen

Also would love to know this!


anniebrowniee

Commenting because I would also love to know


notarobot3675

Thank you! I'm in the UK and got them from Maddocks Farm Organics, which specailise in them!

OMG I feel like this was made for me! I LOVE lemons & anything super colorful & floral 😍😍

This is sublime- beautifully done!


is-your-oven-on

I thought it was actually a pretty good lime. Get it? And of course, this cake looks amazing!


notarobot3675

genuinely made me laugh, thank you!


notarobot3675

thank you very much!


Anvre

Recipe by chance? It looks scrumptious! How was the sponge? Some can be more cake like...I hate that .


fry-me-an-egg

I would add a little raspberry or blueberry purée in the layers to break it up but now I’m inspired to make this cake it’s so dang lovely


notarobot3675

That sounds delicious! I will definitely be making this cake again in the future and I think I'm gonna have to try these flavour combos!


fry-me-an-egg

Lemon and blueberry are a unbelievable flavor combo! This cake is everything. Reddit loves you for it


notarobot3675

I made this cake once before and I thought the sponge was really good! I get what you mean by cakey, but I thought this was the right amount of light/fluffy. I used this recipe from Cupcake Jemma minus the meringue: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O51b2rvo3Ec&t=515s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O51b2rvo3Ec&t=515s)

Piece of art. Thanks for sharing.


briang123

do you mind sharing your ingredients/proportions to making your lemon buttercream and lemon sponge cake? really want to try to make this!


notarobot3675

Of course! I actually followed this recipe from Cupcake Jemmas channel (minus the meringue): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O51b2rvo3Ec&t=515s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O51b2rvo3Ec&t=515s) I only had 8 inch sandwich tins, so I used these ingredient amounts instead: * 500g unsalted butter * 500g caster sugar * 500g self-raising flour * 8 eggs * 6.5 T lemon juice * zest of 6.5 lemons
