Painted cake

Birds and roses

Birds and roses

Learn It

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

Instructions

Draw your design out on paper, then trace carefully onto your cake - using a edible colour pen. Have fun

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Other

Style: Romantic, Cute, Retro / Vintage


Materials

Rainbow dusts - sugar paste to make the birds and cover the cake

What was your inspiration?

I thought I would try out the Hand painted cake course, and I just love Erin work from Three little Blackbirds so thought I would give it a try. I took some photos in the summer of David Austin roses from my garden. Then I saw a china mug that I use and took inspiration and made the birds out of sugar paste.
It was much quicker then sugar paste flowers - and I enjoyed the whole experience.

What are you most proud of?

Having a go, even if you think your not the best artist - having a go gave me more confidence.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Keep practicing. Draw out your design first and think about where you want your painting to go. Then go and have fun
