Cake Decorating: Hand Painted Rose Cake
29 kudoz

Hand Painted Rose Cake

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The Hand-Painted Cake »

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Women

Style: Traditional, Retro / Vintage, Classic


Materials

Erin's course - dumy cake.

What was your inspiration?

Erin's course. I took her template and adapted it slightly to match some old English China I have which was owned by my husband's grandmother (adding some embelishments and buds, plus changing the colours).

What are you most proud of?

Happy with first attempt. Would try things a little differently next time.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Fantastic course - and it's free! What's stopping you??

I'm not sure whether gel/paste colours are different in the UK, but mine kept separating - it was like painting with chewing gum. 24 hours later it's still sticky!

I had a quick go using dusts and alcohol and found this much easier.

Regarding UK colours - you can add superwhite powder to get a more opaque, pastelly effect. For a thicker 'paint' mix colours into confectioners glaze.

Ohh, thanks for the tip. So, does the superwhite change the congsistency of the paste colour? As i mentioned above, it felt like i was painting with chewing gum!
