hello all!
I am making a full sheet cake for a graduation. I am going to do a wide band that goes up the sides, across the top (top - bottom), & down the other side. It is going to be the same design as the school uniform tie. The tie is striped diagonally in 3 different colours ( 2 wide, 1 thin). My question is what is the best way to do this so the stripes are nice a clean next to each other. The cake is to be all buttercream so fondant is out. I don't think buttercream transfer is an option because i want it to continue down the sides. Not sure if piping it is a good idea...Thought about painting it.....but would like some other ideas/way. thanks
Not sure how wide your talking about , but you could use buttercream and the cake icer tip from Wilton. Tip #789 .
The only thing I can think of that doesn't involve fondant is painting. I would use something to mark where the stripes should be and use Edible Art Paints. I think theirs work well on buttercream.
wilton tip 44 and wilton tip 45. Both are ribbon tips I believe of different widths. So pipe the wide, then narrow then wide alongside each other.
