I have been asked to make a guitar cake for a groom which I do not have a problem doing excpet for one thing. I don't have an airbrush tool and the cake the bride is requesting should look like her fiance's guitar which is a black one that gradually blends into orange and then yellow. I explained to her that I do not have the proper tools to achieve the desired look and she didn't mind. She doesn't seem very picky about it looking exactly the same. BUT I guess I am and would like to know if there is any way to get that blended color look using buttercream. Anyone ever done anything like that with any success?
Ditto above.
You can get airbrush in a can I think...

On my Harley cake in my gallery, I piped some flames by adding some red buttercream over the orange, then blending with a hot/wet spatula. It didn't show up too good in the pic and then I also went over with the airbrush. But you can create this effect with butter cream only. Good luck.
