That looks great!!! Isn't brushed embroidery fun? I love doing it!!

Very cute!

Chippi, great cake. Love the embroidery.

Thanks you guys it was fun to do I'm gonna try diff. size paintbrushes next time.

How is my friend Deb doing??? Did you have a good weekend?

Kathy

I think it looks great. Did you do that with RI? And was it stiff or medium? I tried to do it a couple of weeks ago, and mine wouldn't paint into the center. So mine must have been too stiff. Just wondering. Thanks!!

cylstrial I just used the same buttercream i used on the cake but tinted green. Next time I think i will thin it slightly to get a longer smoother stroke with the paintbrush. It was a soft to medium consistency. HTH

Chippi

Thanks Chippi! I will try it again! Hopefully, it will work better this time around.

What a great job! I have not tried this technique YET... its on the list.

That looks great, and would a great idea for the cake!

Good Job!

Hey, that's really good! I tried to recreate a cake that Serious_cakes did on youtube...... my flowers looked like.... I don't know what! Now that I have some blossom cutters, I've been meaning to try again, I couldn't make a free hand blossom!!

I also use buttercream for mine:

chippi-well done especially since it was on bc and not fondant. Stunning effect with the colors!

Thanks everyone! I really enjoyed doing this and its a really a quick way of decorating also. Next time I will thin the buttercream a lil more. I bet it looks very pretty on fondant, can't wait to try that. Thanks again ya'll.

Chippi

wow your buttercream looks so smooth, love the way you did your
brush embroidery.

You did a great job.

Your cake looks great! Love the look, can't wait to try it myself. Happy St. Patty's Day!

It look great, well another reason to bake a cake this week end.

Nice job! So nicely executed. I think that I want to make one!

Very pretty! Gives the shamrocks a different look. You did a great job smoothing the buttercream. I'm still fighting with it..

hey Chippi,

How did you get your BC so smooth? I'm doing wedding cake this weekend and damn if the BC didn't have tons of air bubbles in it. I am having a heck of a time getting it smooth. =(

Hey Girl

Mine had some bubbles too but I just kept viva toweling it and used paddles like crazy!

Make sure your buttercream is just right above the beater after its consistency you want and turn it up notch or 2 and let it run for 5 mins. That is what I have found that gives me smoother buttercream. I am still learning also.

Good luck on your cake!
Kathy >Big hug to my friend!
