on I have to make my first pillow cake the pillow is pink and white. the picture is toile( I hope I spelled it right) with pink bows on the corners. the fabric (outer rim around picture) is or looks white with a ton of tiny pink squares. Ok IF I just can't do it it's ok but I really want to make it look as much like the real pillow as possible. Any ideas on the pink. squares
Can you stamp the squares in pink food colouring on to a fondant base? It won't be 3D but you will get the square effect.

OH good idea! So what do I have that is a tiny square to stap with???
what would work??
Well, you could cut them out of any food-safe material, like foam, meat trays, or, Wilton makes them:

They are made of a foam material similar to the fun-foam stamps that you can get at craft stores. I have no idea, however, if fun-foam is food-safe (I kind of doubt it.)
You could even use a potato stamp. Remember cutting shapes out of half a potato and making potato prints? You'd have to dry the potato really well first, and maybe try some samples to make sure it works.
I can't wait to see your finished cake!
Ok this is the cake for this week. and an attempt at a bass for the hubby...but
I am making the pillow. i will use a small square something..For the pink squares on the edge but for the picture should I try the cake kopy kat or do you think an icing shhet..Which I really would rather be last resort...
or paint it with soft pink color mixed with extract on fondant....?
Oh my hand will be sore...
Wow - it would take ages to freehand all that detail on the picture panel!
I think an edible image would probably be the easiest, this opinion coming from someone who has personally never used one...(sorry) but with that amount of detail, well...
If you feel comfortable painting it, then you can certainly use thinned-down pink food colouring.
Good luck - it's beautiful, and so, I'm sure, will be your cake.
What kind of a person wants to torture another to copy a toulle picture on cake? geeze, good luck, its a cute pillow.
Oh the joys of decorating...PEOPLE THINK WERE MAGIC.
No really...
I did decide to do edible image. I have two cakes on the same day both custom like this of course. So wish me luck.I 'll post it this monday!
Well, I think it turned out great! Good job (and a big one, too!)
