I love it too. Didn't know you could paint on buttercream. Would you care to share with us how to do so, I'd love to try it too.

Very Pretty!

I think your painting ability is great! You would have gotten an A in my art class!! Did you let your cake set a bit after icing it before painting the roses? I painted a whole scene on a 20"x20" sheet cake on BC after letting it sit after icing it to "dry a bit". (You can see it here under "other" cakes called Monet-The Dance.) GREAT JOB on you cake!

Great Job!

i love this! love the colors and the designs, going into my favs!

That's buttercream they're painted on correct? Fabulous job!

I love the color combination!

thanks :-) & yes, they're painted on buttercream.

Very very pretty!!! I can't give any tips on the technique, I've never done it, but it looks wonderful, I'd like to try it!

I usually outline with buttercream, then pull it in with a brush. It takes a lot of time but is very fun, just like painting with paints! It IS easier if I let the base coat set, but I can also get a transparent look if I paint when the base coat still isn't set & mix it with the color I'm paining on top. I did this with the wings on my fairy cake - the pict doesn't show it too good, but you might get the idea. I also use color gels, like the black stripes on my bees on the Whimsical Bugs cake. Good job!

thanks for the tip. i'll be sure to try it out the next time i do painting. :-)

thanks all. i was inspired by your cake ellyrae, tho i've got miles to go before i can make mine as pretty as yours :-). i know i should have let the icing dry, but i was impatient. that's why it's a bit smudgy in places. the technique i used was to paint using nylon brushes (i'm a bit particular about using paintbrushes made from bristles) & food coloring. the design was drawn freehand, so, the roses aren't regular in size/look. hope i've answered your question, standingforjesus.
