Shabby Chic Anniversary

I was asked to make an anniversary cake for my brother/sister-in-law. I wanted to be resourceful, yet beautiful. I decided to make the cake with a shabby chic look. I was going to use a metal spatula to create the indentations, but it was too narrow for the look I was going for. So, I grabbed a wooden spoon, my turn table and let 'er rip.

I love this! Was this a crusting BC? If so did you use your wooden spoon on it before or after crusting? Did you need to grease the spoon or anything?

Alexius007,

Thank you so much! I did not use a crusting buttercream since I did not need it to crust. I smoothed out my buttercream as much as possible to give me a clean slate to work with. Then, I used the wooden spoon just after smoothing the buttercream. I did not grease the spoon. I just pulled it out of the utensil drawer and used it. Hope this helps.
