I did brush embroidery on my neices birthday cake .. it is in my photos .. its not perfect but it was my first time other then class doing it .. I added sugar crystals to the center ..

All it is another technique. You can use butter cream and make a flower for instants. Then you take a soft brush with some water and pull the butter cream towards the center. I did it on my class 3 final cake which is on my icon. Very simple and very pretty effect. I tried looking on Wilton but could not find it. Good Luck and happy decorating!!

I just tried brushed embroidery on a wedding cake for the first time this last weekend. It was so fun dong it and I can't wait to do it again! I just did the leaves in that technique and added royal icing flowers. Everyone at the wedding was stunned that I could do such a cake! It made me happy!

Oh I just love the look of brushed embroidery! I recently tried it for the first time on a pink flip flop cake (in my photos). One thing I'll do differently next time is to use a #1 tip to outline instead of a #2. I think a #2 tip was just too thick and I had a hard time getting the frosting pulled out.

Thanks, Janice

I also have on in my photos that was done on a fondant cake. I think it is very pretty.

i also just tried it for the first time recently (hawaiian shirt in my photos).

i love the look of brush embroidery on all sorts of cakes. i've seen it on some beautiful wedding cakes.
you get such nice results for a fairly simple technique.

you really must try it........it's a ton of fun....so easy to do and looks spectacular even if you don't know what you're doing trust me (experience lol) here is one I did recently, it was just for fun so I didn't have an actual plan for the type or placement of the flowers...just kinda went with it!!!
