Hello all, I have a question for all you talented cake masters out there. I have a bride that has requested a technique on her cake and she gave me a picture, which I have included, but I am not 100% sure on how to apply this technique. It appears to be brush stroking with a food paint. The cake will be chocolate brown in color and she wants the striping to be done in a gold tone. I am thinking pearl dust or shimmer dust?, but again I am not sure how to apply to give it that flowing appearance. The other trick is, she wants buttercream... can this be applied to crusted buttercream? Oh please help and I appreciate all input from everyone, you guys are awesome here.

I have painted on buttercream before. you just have to make sure that you have it thinned out enough and that your cake is frosted. I would put it in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes before you paint. get a brush thats fanned out I can't remeber what number it is. Don't get the cheap ones in a package, they don't work as nice and shed alot.
