Hey there guys, I'm in need of a little help. I have a customer that I'm making a cheetah print 2 tier shoe box cake w/ a gumpaste shoe & bows. Unfortunatley, My plan to use SMBC under fondant & paint cheetah print is not going to work. She's okay with fondant pieces, but none of the above covering the cake. Does anymore know how to do cheetah print in all BC. Thanks

I've had great success stenciling on SMBC. I just chill it in the frig for about 30 min then stencil. I get my stencils from Stencilease.com and they work beautifully. They have leopard print border (how different is that from a cheetah?)

Wow, your cake turned out great! Thanks for the link. I was thinking I didn't like the 2 color design, but rather the three until I saw your cake. It must be the white background on the cupcakes. I think I'll give this a go.

thank you post a picture when your done i would love to see how it turned out

No problem, I'll send you a PM. I deliver Saturday afternoon. Thanks again.

Tails, you've made my day! Every day that I learn something new is a good day. Now I hope none of my customers ask for cheetah OR Leopard print....I've has a summer of zebra prints!

Yeah, I get the two mixed up all the time.

Thanks Tails, Correction I'm actually making a leopard print cake. Think I'll print out that pattern to use as a guide for my BC. Getting ready to ice right now.

What do you use to do stencil with? SMBC? Thank you!

Okay guys, I iced & did my leopard print. It turned out great. I have a couple of other pieces drying to put on the cake yet. Here's the problem.... I stuck the cake in the fridge since I have fillings in them that require refridgeration. When I took the cake back out to work on it the black from the leopard print started condensating & streaking black down the cake. I kept absorbing the condesation with a paper towel until I put it back in. What do I do for delivery never had this problem before. AHH
