Camo Cake (Buttercream) - How Do I?
Decorating By mom2spunkynbug Updated 30 Oct 2009 , 3:24pm by jammjenks
I was going to do a plain cake for my dh's birthday, but decided to do a "camo" cake for him (since he is a big hunter & it's hunting season). How do I get the camo effect using buttercream? I've seen a lot of nice bc camo cakes on here.
Thank you!
Mix up about four colors or so. I use brown, black, light green, and dark green. Using round tips, pipe an irregular blob with one color. Then, with another color, make another irregular blob that joins the first. Once you have a fairly large area done, use the Melvira method (paint roller) and smooth the whole thing out.
At least that's how I do it.
I did the same as previous poster, except I put down all of one color very randomly & then moved to the next color. I smoothed with the roller. Good luck
Thanks! I will try it out!! Hopefully I will be able to do it - I'm not that great with buttercream!

Camo is very forgiving. No exact lines, no exact colors, etc. It'll look great!
