a friend asked me to make this cake plus cupcakes but I don't have the airbursh. So how can I make the dirty stain on the cake? maybe brushing with some dark color dust?
Also, how can I make the flames with double colors?
thank you!
two tone flames -- try a striped bag like this:

and i like to pipe my stripe/s down into the empty bag as well as the fill color-- you have more control that way --i do a favorite leaf in the autumn with 4 stripes filled with gold icing--one of my favorite things to pipe -- a changing leaf --
not to mention you can buy piping bags that are all set up to stripe --
you can get black petal dust and brush that on--you can also get black cocoa from king arthur flour among other places and that would be cool too

thank you both! I'll post a pic of the result :)
I used cocoa powder on one of my cakes to give it a "dusty/dirty" look. I used a fluffy brush, dipped it in the cocoa and tapped off the excess, it works great. I used this technique on my baseball cake that I posted if you want to see how it looks. Good luck.
