i have been thinking about how i could achieve this. My thought: ice cake with white butter cream, use cut out squares of heavy card stock putting them every other space on the cake, use black color spray to fill in open butter cream areas. the cake is 1/3 sheet
will this work? i haven't used the spray mist before.
will it get a good black color? i did buy 4 cans of the stuff.
i also thought about using dental floss to grid the top and hand painting the black.
any ideas?
Here are a couple of suggestions.
1) Usually I score the top with the back of a knife (dental floss would work also) Then take a bag of black with a round tip on it. What size depends on how big the square is. and start in one corner, do a zig zag motion diagnally across the square until you reach the opposite corner. Then do it with White. I suggest starting with the darker color incase you accidently go beyond the square or drop it someone. You will be covering it up with the other color. You can leave it like this or smooth it out.
2) Do a FBCT the same size as the top of your cake.
3)Cut square of white and black fondant, lay on cake accordingly
4)Score top for squares like above. Star tip in each square. Check out my photos I have a cake in there where I did this method for the bottom border around the cake.
Hope some of these ideas help

Glad I could help. I personally like the look of the stars, but don't like doing them on a large cake, so I was thinking the other options would work well also. If it is a large Cake I usually go with option one and a smaller tip so I can keep a consistant pressure on the bag and just move my arm back and forth.
Can't wait to see your cake.
