OK so this cake is a must-make. A moist browned butter vanilla cake filler with creamy vanilla browned butter Italian meringue buttercream. If you don't want to go all out and pipe buttercream orchids and all that, just stop at the crumb coat and get to eating, it's just delicious and I love seeing all the flecks from the vanilla beans and caramelized butter bits. If you haven't browned butter before you've got to try! Cooking it adds a depth of flavor, intensified nuttiness and this incredible aroma. Browned butter enhances both sweet and savory dishes, you're going to be hooked!
So I've been enjoying experimenting a bit with different buttercream flowers on my cakes lately and it's been so fun! I made a "painted" rose cake last week where I mostly used a palette knife to create petals and it gave an interesting three dimensional effect to the surface but this time I wanted to try and make some buttercream orchids. I had actually experimented piping them a few weeks ago, using them as cookie toppers and they worked well but I think a cake is the best venue for this flower :) I should mention that I ordered two piping tips for this cake that made a huge difference, they're shaped like curved tear drops and are a total game-changer, 120 and 127. You can use there to make many different typed of petals and I highly recommend them.
