I'm making a 3-tier buttercream, square wedding cake. Part of the design on the top tier & bottom tier will be a simple vertical silver scroll.
I'm wondering if I can pipe on the buttercream cake with RI then apply silver luster dust (mixed with ETOH) after the RI dries or will it look sloppy?
Here's an example of a cake with the type of scroll work she wants. I don't know who the designer of this great cake is. I'm just using it as an example of the scroll work.
Thanks!
That should work if you are very careful w/your painting.
Maybe make some kind of stencil cutting out just the scroll & covering the rest.
I've done this before (RI scrollwork on BC, painted w/gold luster dust)...it worked fine. The RI didn't get as hard b/c of the fats in the BC, but I used a soft brush to apply and it worked great. (I don't know what ETOH is, but I used alcohol based lemon extract)
Edited to say that the cake is in my pics - white rabbit's pocket watch....

That's a great idea.
I was thinking of making the stencil with my Cricut. It would probably make it easier & neater to place the stencil back over the dried RI and paint.
