I have a cake decorating book that shows "Cammo" decorated cupcakes. It said to melt store bought frosting to recieve that look. I NEVER use store bought frostings or mixes, so I am leary of this. Is it possible to achieve this same thing with homemade buttercream? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I've melted American BC before and it was great. I doubt if it would work with a meringue-based BC, though. I used it to top creampuffs and I dipped the strawberries on this cake in melted BC
