I am doing my daughters 7th bday cake and was wanting to do it in pink camo but don't have a clue how it is done. Can anyone give help me out?

Sure can! If you pm your email to me I will send you a picture tutorial..
I made it last Month and Boy it has come in handy I have given it to quite a few people.. and I would be glad to share it with you.. It showes step be step.

I do camo cakes a lot and have done a few in girly colors...it's pretty simple. I outline random shapes, using 3 or 4 colors, with tip 3, making sure the colors are well spaced. Then I fill in with tip 16 stars, or tip 7 piping ( then smoothing with Viva.) Here is an example of what it looks like:

Good Luck!

I did one a couple weeks ago for my son, not the girly colors those. But I did exactly like sugarfrosted said, pipe the design, fill in with your color and smooth with viva. I have the pic in my gallery... GOOD LUCK!

Suagr-frosted.....got a question......
You piped the edges then filled with stars, I get that. You smoothed it using the Viva method? Did you just push it down a bit with the Viva, not completely smooth? Love it by the way......Can't wait to try this.

I do it the same way, only I don't take the time to star tip it. I use a tip 5, draw out the outlines, and then use the same tip to "fill in" - just keep going in circles till it is all filled with icing, then smooth with the Viva. I do all I can to avoid using the star tip, that thing wears my hand out!

I agree with the star tip idea. I hate a star tip.....thanks. I have done the "fill in" with just a tip and it worked fine, just wanted to make sure I understood. I'm still learning and won't to do it the smartest way not the hardest. thanks again for anyone who has ever helped me.....

thanks sugar-frosted.....I didn't see the point in smooshing stars wither, but you never know. Thanks again!

Sugarfrosted - yes, that is exactly how mine look when done with the round tip. Works like a charm. Very cool airplane!

I agree with the star tip thing, there are sometimes when it works for a certain design, I just prefer not to do them (I have carpal tunnel setting in here) those repetative motions are a killer.

AI really like that idea but i wanted to do my daughters with two colors of pink and brown...now could i just replace the purple with brown?

Loucinda:  Buy the triple star tip, cut your work into a third of the squeezes. 

Rosie93095:  Great photo tutorial...Thanks.  There are also plastic press-on (texture sheets) guides for 'cammo' designs in two sizes.

ps: your neat consistent borders are something I wish I could make.

AI like the roller idea, I wonder what type of roller it is though...I think it would have to be a special one that didn't leave a rough mark on the bc.

It is a high density paint roller I get from Lowes.. Just wash with hot water and let dry completely before using on icing.

After reading the camo cake tutorial I went to town.  It was like a Twilight Zone experience, as it's 'fall' it's hunting season and men, women & children and their vehicles were camo...... shirts, pants, hats. surrounded by camo...... usually don't pay much attention to it.

These cakes & cookies you guys have made are great!!  any color any shape any size cake or cookie-- cool.

ACould you send me the picture tutorial as well??

Sanitized high density paint rollers (available at Walmart) are your friend!  No specific tip needed.  Just pipe in random shapes for the camo, regardless of colors, and then roll them smooth!
