Can buttercream be painted on? If so, any ideas on how to do it?
I'm just assuming a mixture of gel coloring and vodka would do the trick but I don't want to mess up on it.
I have a couple that wants a midevil castle cake but they want the brick to be "painted on".

I've painted on buttercream, but caution the vodka softens the "crust" on the bc and every now and then I will make a dent. Your ideal solution would be to spray on a brick pattern with a stencil (or create the brick pattern with an imprint mat) and an airbrush, or vodka and coloring in a fine mist bottle.
I've seen some beautifully painted buttercream cakes here on CC. I know it can be done successfully.
Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate it. About a day after I posted this topic I remembered that I have painted on buttercream before. I'm only 40 and my mind is going fast

The groom-to-be designed the cake. He did an awesome job. I'm looking forward to making it for them.
