I would like to decorate a cake with brushed embroidery. What is the technique? Does it need to be made with royal icing? Then what happens when you cut it? Does it just fall apart? Is there some where to get a pattern for those beautiful roses I have seen on cakes here? Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

It can be done with either buttercream, royal icing or chocolate.
Thank you guys SO much...I need to do this technique on a cake in two weeks!
I did mine on crusted buttercream using buttercream. I just piped the flower border, then brushed toward the center. Some use a wet brush, but I usd dry.

To get shapes you can use a cookie cutter and just make a light impression, then pipe over the impression left behind. Then do your brush work.
i use bc, with bc, just be sure and make your outline thicker, i also bought some brushed at the dollar store and didn't realize how stiff they were so i took scissors at cut into the ends give me varied length's at the tip of the flat brush works great. also make sure you bc has crusted, u-tube has some good videos
