Hi Everyone! I have been looking at some of the great cakes in the galleries and have seen several that are brush embroidery. Can someone please explain how to do this? I am still a fairly new caker. I tried to find something about this elsewhere in the forums but couldn't find anything. TIA for your help!!!
I love brush embroidery!! It's on my To Do List for someday! 
I believe it's usually done on fondant cakes. RI is piped on the cake and a clean wet paintbrush is used to drag some of the RI into the center.

Yep thats how I do it. I've done it with buttercream icing too. Not sure which is better. I use my scrap fondant to practice on 
Thank you both for your responses! I wasn't sure what was used-now I want to give it a try. Thanks Alice for the tip of using fondant scraps to practice on!
I'm sure Wilton.com probably has a technique article
Here's a video showing brush embroidery

thanks Jackie! This video was great! I ended up watching a bunch of others on Youtube too! Was up until way past my bedtime last night!! But well worth it!
Thanks for everyone's help! I am SO looking forward to trying this technique! I think I will use it on my Mom's Mother's Day cake
You are most welcome. Looking forward to see your cake. Do remember to post.
