Ok...So I had decided to hire my SIL to paint cakes...Never mix family & business!!! Lesson learned. So I needed to teach myself to paint cakes! UGGG so I dove right in and tried my hand at "painting". I had an order in marcg for a palm tree top tier to a cup cake tower. Here's my first attempt! I do need ya'll to be honest though. Can I pull it off???? The other painted one in my gallery was my sil. Please be honest.
Thanks Lisa 
Wow, wow, wow...you can certainly pull it off...more than that. It looks amazing!

You could def pull it off.....that is some good work there.
WOW! That's awesome! Did you just use gel paste colors thinned down? Have you taken any painting classes or did you jsut go for it?
Spottydog you are SO talented! I'm jealous!
Actually I started my first oil painting class on Wed. The whole time I'm thinking "I could use this, and this, and this and have the same results with cake! I had told my instructor that I my goal was to paint on cakes so, she asked me could we do a red rose on a black background. Can we? Uh....YES! Black MMF, red piping gel, and white, white food color. I e-mailed some pics of our CCer's painted cakes and she is HOOKED! So, on our last class? You've got it! It's a CAKE DECORATING CLASS!! LOLL
Again, Great Job Spottydog! YOU GO GIRL!!
Wonderful Work!! I think your client would be thrilled with a cake like that. You have nothing to worry about.
How did you paint it? Is it gel colors? I am curious about this technique.
Great job Spottydog! Looks Awesome!
My first passion is painting.......how funny I never thought of doin something like that! I am new to the baking thing (just a hobby...love to do it for family & friends). After seeing your peice I would love to know what mediums you used.
Again Great Job!!!!

I can't wait to see!!!!!Good luck. I basically just crossed my fingers! I was so nervous to make that first touch on the fondant with the paint brush! EEK
HOLY COW LISA!!!! That is awesome girl!!!! Can't wait to see more!!!!!
Oops double post, but it just gives me a another chance to tell you what a great job you did spotty!!!
You can definately pull it off! You're a natural! I actually like yours better than your SIL's. I mean nothing bad about that. I do like the lighthouse but I think it's your color choice that strikes me better. Very good job!
BTW, are these regular cake colors you are using?
