What is color flow?

Is it even used?

Can someone post a pic showing the "color flow" effect?


Thanks icon_rolleyes.gif

Color flow is a technique in which a figure is outlined with an icing that hardens (like Royal Icing), and then filled in with watered-down icing. It results in a hard, flat plaque that can be incorporated into the decorations on a cake.

If you look in my photos, color flow was used for the "karate kids" on the martial arts cake. Because the kids were made out of color flow, I was able to elevate their kicking feet above the surface of the cake (with mini marshmallows), giving it more of a dimensional look.
