Anyone have any ideas how I could do a denim texture? Has anyone ever done it? I was going to try to make a cake with a pair of jeans and a belt with a giant belt buckle (inside joke) and I am trying to figure out how I would make the jeans.
Thanks all!

Yeah, that was the only thing I could think of was rubbing the jeans on it, but I don't know if I have any to rip up (I don't know how I would get my jeans up on there to do it. Any suggestions on that? I guess maybe I could just get a piece of denim for Joann's or something.
Mixee,
If you are doing any work with fondant you can basically use the same tools or techniques as painting a wall
instead of paint use powdered food colouring mixed with lemon extract

Ralph Lauren paint website shows how to do any fabric technique on a wall so I dont see any issues doing something similar on fondant!
Basically all you need to do is paint your fondant and then come back with a course bristle brush to get the texture.
Was just a thought

Good thought Jane, thanks.
I wasn't really thinking of using Fondant, but it might actually be an option. Depends on if the Buttercream transfer turns out ok or not...LOL...I am doing a Viva Las Vegas Belt Buckle only changing the wording...and I was going to do a 13 x 9" cake horizontally and doing the top and the zipper part as the cake itself and then do the belt and place the buckle in the middle.
But can I put the Buttercream transfer on fondant? I don't think it would stick very well...?
Thanks for the site.
