Join Coco Cake Land and Genius Kitchen as we bake our way through the world of celebrity gossip and social media moguls with #GKCakeLife!
Can't make it to Coachella this year? Bake this cake instead and your Insta-stories will never be the same.
Start by stacking your beautiful buttermilk cake layers. Don't worry about letting the vanilla buttercream hang loose.
Get out that bench scraper, and tidy up the edges — think of this as applying your foundation (no contour needed).
What does your perfect festival makeup look like? We bet it looks even better made of fondant.
Because one should never show up to Coachella without a full face.
Start by getting familiar with the required tools. This is a flower nail.
To make perfect roses, use a Wilton 125 petal tip.
Hot tip: Watch a few frosting flower tutorials.
Now, create your rosebud at the center.
And add on the leaves.
Admire and make more.
You've got the hang of it! It's like applying cat eyes: practice makes perfect.
Once you have enough flowers, make an extra just in case things go awry.
Pick your accent flower colors.
Use your other piping bags to make drop stars, rosettes and any different designs you like in alternating colors.
Fill in any gaps with the leaf piping tip and little drop stars until you are happy with your gorgeous buttercream flower crown.
Style and photograph — that's half the fun anyhow.
Don your real flower crown while eating a slice of this perfect festival-ready cake.
