Hello
I have to make a Sofia the first castle cake in pink and purple colors for my daughter 's party. But the problem is I have only made carrot cake from scratch or boxed cakes with whipped cream n cream cheese frostings. So I can’t use fondant or make buttercream frosting.
i came across this video
my concern is can I make this cake using cake mixes or sponge cake is a must? In another video for castle cake the lady used pillsbury yellow cake mix.
Then for frosting I know store bought buttercreams are not tasty but still if I have to use pink buttercream which brand is recommended?
also which food colors can be used to color the store bought buttercream?
what about Wilton food colors are they good?
also can I use whipped cream and dye it with solid food colors and smooth it out on the cake will the results be good? If yes which brand of solid food colors?
thanks
