Okay, I am a good cake decorator, I think. haha But for some reason, I am having trouble figuring out how to get this effect on my cake. Can somebody look at the camouflage on the cake in this link and tell me how to do this camo with buttercream? I know the tank is a FBCT, but how do I do the camo like that with buttercream? http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1702262
it looks to me like they may have added extra cs to make the bc thick enough to manipulate and shape a bit and then pieced it like a puzzle. You know think like sugarshack does her dams and rolls the bc for that....
I remember a thread on this before. If I remember correctly, they piped the individual colours in the shapes and then took a roller to it to smooth it, Melvira style...

Here is a tutorial that jammjenks posted. Hope this helps. I love the look of the buttercream camo cakes!

this was the way that I thought I'd do it, seems the simplest
For my camo cake I just piped the shapes and then smoothed with Viva...looks very similar to the one in the link you posted.
