The Secret to Perfect Squares
Creating a cake that looks as sharp and square as real magazines requires precision and the right tools. The key to achieving these perfect squares lies in meticulous crumb coating and buttercream preparation, followed by the use of acrylic squares for sharp, clean edges that truly mimic the look of a magazine.
How to Achieve Magazine-Like Precision
- Crumb Coat: Start with a thorough crumb coat. This initial thin layer of buttercream seals in the crumbs and prepares your cake for the final layer, ensuring that no crumbs appear in your sleek finish.
- Buttercream Perfection: Apply a generous layer of buttercream over the crumb coat. Here’s where acrylic squares come into play. Position them around each tier to guide your spatula and create flawless straight edges and corners that give this cake its signature look.
- Adding the Details: The magazine covers themselves can be recreated using edible images—a precise printing technique on sugar paper that brings each cover to life. Wrapping these around each tier transforms the cake into a stack of iconic Vogue issues.
