I have seen shows where they hand paint right onto the cake. I am guessing they just use food coloring/gels and a brush. Can you do this onto BC or does it have to be on fondant?
Does anyone do this often, any thing I should know b4 I try

Hi sweetmonkey, and welcome to CC!
Thanks for the kind comment on my painted cake. I use gel food colors thinned with vodka, and very soft artist's brushes to paint on well crusted butter-cream. To make white, I use Titanium white color; I have both gel and powder, so I use whichever works best on the particular cake.
I really like this technique, and find it always surprises people to find out that the cake has been painted!
