What was your inspiration?

A past display cake that featured the brush embroidery technique. This is painted on fondant but when I paint on buttercream I have to make sure the buttercream base is cold by putting the cake in the fridge for a bit. This hardens the icing enough to paint on, but I still have to be careful not to brush too hard and smear the icing. Thanks for looking! Lisa

Was the royal icing youused for the brush embroidery already coloured or did you use white and add colour after. I have seen differrent cake designers do t different ways.

For brush embroidery, you need to color the royal icing first and then apply it to the cake. It's much easier that way. I reserve painting royal icing only after it is applied if I wish to have something silver or gold - two colors that you really can't get with icing color. Lisa

Beautifully simplistic looking, but we all know how much work you had to put in to make it look this good. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thank you! I'm so out of practice with that technique that it takes me a long time to get the job done right! :)
