I am making a piano cake for this weekend. I want to make a cake under the piano that looks like flooring. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Can I make the hardwood flooring with just buttercream and if so how? Or any other type of flooring that someone can suggest would be appreciated! Thanks!

I personally think a wood floor might be a little challenging with buttercream. But if you can't figure out how to do it, then make like a black and white checked floor. It might look cool. I don't know what the occasion is, so it might work.

It is for a friends son. It is his birthday and he has a baby grand piano that he plays. I am having issues with black icing so was trying to get away from that I am hoping that the icing will darken enough for the piano.

oh yeah, black frosting is a pain. Hmm.. .Sorry don't have anymore ideas, but hopefully someone will.. Good Luck

You can buy woodgrain impression mats. You could color your BC first and then use the impression mat or leave the BC white, use the impression mat and then spray on the color with an airbrush or a Preval Sprayer.
