Very cute!

I have never worked with colorflow. My mother did and never had any luck with it, so I've been avoiding it like the plague!

Did you have any problems when making it?

no not at all first time doing it but very time consuming because the clown had ten colors

Very nice icon_smile.gif. What would be the difference between doing that as a color flow vs. a FBCT?

Very colorful clown. You did a good job. I haven't tried the ColorFlow, I've used FBC.

I also am unfamiliar with colorflow? What is it? And how hard is it?

dumb question...is colorflow made to be eaten or just as a decoration?

Color flow is similar to royal icing, but dries with a sheen (correct me if I am wrong here--I have only used it a couple times). It can be eaten, and it dries very hard.

I love color flow, since you can make your most time consuming portion of the cake well in advance. Super time saver on cake delivery day. I NEED HELP THO, how to you attach it to the cake so as not to break down the color flow piece? Articles indicate that the grease in the BC icing will break it down......but they never say if this happens in 2 minutes, 48 hours or a week? I just hate putting non-idible items on my cakes, so that is why I'm avoiding the suggestions of waxed paper, etc. under the color flow picture. THANKS...I've got 2 1/2 hours to deliver my cake today!!

i'm thinking your piece will be fine. I have put colorflow items on top of buttercream before for quite a while with no problems! I think if it was left for days then there might be problems, but if its just a few hours, i think it will be fine!

What do you do differently with colorflow compared to flooding a piped area with royal icing? I have a friend that asked me how to do this and to me it looked like you pipe an outline and then fill it in with thinned out RI. So what are you adding to it, thats different?

Very nice job! When having a choice between royal icing, fbct or color flow I always go for color flow.

We did it in royal icing, directly on the cake, it did not break down and I do not know much about color flow so that's why I didn't answer any of the questions, we made the cake at 6pm and it was not eaten until 6pm the next day, my riend came to pick it up around noon the color flow was still fine, then she tells me the cake was a big hit! so I'm guessing the color flow or royal icing did not break down. Thanks for your compliments everyone I truly do love this cake! I have a royal icing flower class tomorrow I'm hoping for some let over royal icing so I can make a cake!
