For my Mother In Law's birthday cake I decided to change from the normal ganache and fondant to buttercream. The cake was a caramel mud cake, which I layered with leftover white chocolate ganache, and toffee sauce. I then made my usual buttercream, and coloured it in 3 colours to make the ombre effect.
After icing the cake, I placed the macarons on the top of the cake. I would love to say that I made the macarons, but they were store bought. Using a Wilton 1M tip I piped swirls of buttercream between the macarons, and covered the cakes with sprinkles.
