Cake Painting Course

I was very lucky to have the opportunity to attend a Nevie Pie cake painting course last week in Warrington.



I was given a cake dummy covered in fondant icing, 3 paint brushes, a palette & step by step instruction and tips.


It was so much fun, and the result is so effective. I'm looking forward to trying out my own designs soon. We were also taught how to paint small flowers on round disks that you can use on cupcakes.


It turns out can get white powder/paint for cakes called super white. You can use it as paint (like we did) AND to make buttercream white instead of yellow!


Clever stuff!

Hand Painted Rose Cake

My first try at hand painting roses on a cake. It was my sister in law's birthday last week and well, 
any excuse to make a cake...
I was in a bit if a rush, so I didn't have time to do it as neatly or in as much detail as I would've liked. 
 

It's the same technique as water colour painting - building up the layers. 
Next time I'd like to try some bigger flowers. Oh the possibilities.
...and it was chocolate cake inside yum!
