I had to do a camouflage (sp?) pattern today on part of a cake, so I thought I'd take pictures along the way. I see a lot of posts asking how to do camo in bc and I thought it may help someone else to see a visual.
Hope you understand what I mean in the pictures. Sometimes I don't excel at explaining myself.
Thank you, I know a lot of people will benefit from this tutorial!
And you did a great job explaining yourself.
Oh and I love your roller, it makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one with stained rollers...lol
It's that red bc man gets me everytime!

You know it! That roller used to be white. The first one I had started out yellow and turned pink like that after a very short time. I do a ton of bc cakes, so use it all. the. time.
THANK YOU for the tutorial...you did a fantastic job! both in photos and explanation. I've heard about the roller method but have not purchased one...will now.
I got mine in the hardware section at Wal Mart. Imay06, do you have a walmart near you? If not, you can probably get one at any hardware store in the paint section.
Thank you so much, you did a great job with the tutorial. I also use the Melvira method, thanks again
Thanks so much for that Jam! I could have used that tutorial over a year ago. I made a cake for my son for his birthday. He is in the Army National Guard. My finished cake looked like your pic number 3! Kind of wormy.
Now I know what to do the next time. Thanks again!
Aww, Cocobean. It doesn't look sad. I think it looks good. A roller would've smoothed it out, but it still looked good.
please where did you get the foam paint roller from. Am in the uk please.
It's a high density foam roller from any hardware store
Thanks for the tutorial! That would be really cool to do with bright tie-dye colors.

Any of our DIY stores will have them, B&Q, Homebase, Wickes etc. Also look in Wilkinsons, pound shops etc.
Basically anywhere that sells paint should have these small rollers
That's exactly how I do it, except I'm a Viva gal!!
Everyone asks me how to do it, and I just say "Skill, people, skill"! If they only knew how easy....

I know! When a customer comes by, I always make sure my paint roller is out of sight.
This is great! I have had no occasion to make a camouflage cake yet glad I have a reference for how to do it! It also makes me want to try melvira. I'm going to get a paint roller today! I've only ever used viva. Thanks again!
this is an ingenious method. i agree with crisseyann, it would be fun to do a tie-dye cake.
Thank you for this tutorial, it is very well explained but I'd like to know what you use as crumbcoat? it does'nt look as buttercream to me.
Thank you again??

It is buttercream...just a VERY thin layer of it. I normally don't even crumbcoat this type of cake, but the camo colors need something to stick to.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for posting this!! When most of your clientele are military spouses, knowing how to do camo is very important!!
This is an outstanding picture tutorial, thank you! Sometimes something that seems simple is one of the hardest to acheive when you are standing there with your icing bags in hand, this is a huge help!
Thank you for this great tutorial gives me the incentive to try a military theme cake.
