I thought at first this was just a brushed embrodery, but look how the flowers kind of stick out and how it is so very uniform in shape?

Is this brushed on gum paste/fondant then cut out and glued on? Any ideas on how this is done?

Thanks!!

looks to me like hand painted fondant cut outs

ah, never thought of that! So it isnt really buttercream at all, it is just brushed on paint on the cutouts?

i can't see the whole cake, but what i can see it all appears to be fondant to me. HTH.

It is NOT brushed embroidery....looks like cutouts to me too.

I would say a cut out also, what I tried over the weekend was I bought a rubber stamp and mixed 50/50 fondant and gumpaste and then stamped the stamp and cut out the plaque for the monogram . This would work great for flowers for they have some nice flower stamps. Then just paint with your gels. Picture is in my photos red roses cake. Give it a try , I think you'll like it. It was really easy for a first try. HTH Good luck.

Thanks for your help on this..thought you would like to see how the cake came out!

Congratulations Lorie, it is beautiful!
