Hi there, I will be making a stacked wedding cake for my sister this august!! My first wedding cake . She had asked for fondant with ferns painted on it!! I could really use some advice as to at what point I can paint the ferns and the best technique for good results i.e. a powdered coloring something with a clear liqour in it etc... oh and by the way this cake will be outside!! Any advice anyone could share would be areally big help thanks!!!
If you water down sage green wilton gel food color it will give you and AMAZING sheer effect and i think you will really like it. make a practice "pallete"of fondant and knock your self out practicing!
Practice on a piece of fondant first, it is pretty easy as long as you have some painting knowlege.
If that does not work out, you an also do it in buttercream with a leaf tip. Hold the bag at a 90 degree angle and start to make a leaf base, then lift off, straight up, quickly and repeat this to form a fern, like the picture attached.
