This stunning decoupage technique is so simple, but amazingly beautiful. Check out how Diane created the beautiful watercolor inspired tier on this cake.

What you will need:

Fondant Covered Cake
Food safe printed image of your choice (I just chose one image, but feel free to mix as many coordinating images you’d like.)
Piping Gel
Painting Brush
Scissors

Begin painting piping gel onto your fondant covered cake, a little goes along way. I do the entire cake at once.

Then start tearing your wafer paper sheets into random shapes and sizes. For and 8in. tier I used 3 sheets of printed wafer paper.

Begin placing torn pieces onto cake, overlapping as you go. You may need more piping gel on some the wafer paper that over lap more than others. Use a paint brush and place a little on the back of the wafer paper, feather it down with a clean brush.

Continue around the cake until completely covered or you may opt to have some fondant showing through.

Once you have completely covered the cake take a pair of scissors and trim off the top or you may opt to leave it with the jagged edges, I think it looks nice too.
