Hi all!
I’m VERY new to baking... as in, this is my first cake ever. I think I probably started a bit too “big” and should have gone with some cupcakes or something to start but instead I opted for a full vanilla sponge with buttercream. Instead of a nice, smooth, firm buttercream I ended up with what looks more like a cream cake!
Don’t get me wrong, it tastes pretty good and has been a hit in my house, but it wasn’t what I planned. What the hell happened with my buttercream?!
I couldn’t have added anymore caster sugar as it was so sweet already. It seemed the perfect consistency when I mixed it. My cake was cold before I frosted it, I chilled my buttercream first... what did I do wrong??? Helpppppp
