Hi All
I have been asked to make this Camera Cake (See link) . I can tell already, its going to be quite a challenge. Fingers crossed But I cant for the life of me figure out how to get this grainy dotted texture that's on the camera. Any ideas, tips ????

Thanks nicunurse Ill try that. Saw your pics. Gorgeous flawless work !!!



you could try a mini sifter. It should be close to the texture I think?

I vote for the florescent light covers. I purchased one at the hardware store for just that effect. My problem is that I had to buy a huge sheet. Wish I could give you half of it!

It's kind of like the texture of a football:

Maybe place some clingfilm over the surface and lightly press some heavy grade sand paper against it?

I have a small impression mat that is supposed to look like sand and it has this exact texture. I believe I bought it in a pack of 4 at a local Michaels or AC Moore in the clay section, but I am not 100% positive. Good luck!

I have used a new green scotch pad to get that texture before. It worked pretty good

Wow !!! Thanks guys for so many wonderful ideas !!!! that is so helpful. I'll try them all n let u know what works best
U guys awesome
Thanks

Thanks everyone for your help. I finally ended using the nonslip shelf liner.
Thanks again
