May the Force Be With You, Again; Part Two, Making a Galaxy Cake Board
Like many others I have been guilty of leaving an unfinished , silver cake board. Now, I don't think that is always bad, but unless you're Mike McCarey , your cakes will probably only be improved by decorating your board as well.

Then I remembered gradeschool art class and grabbed myself a (New) toothbrush. I poured a little white airbrush color onto the brush and flicked it onto the board:
I then went back in with white in the airbrush to make little galaxy-ish shapes
I colored the cake itself the same way (actually I did the cake first, which is why it doesn't look quite as nice as the board in my opinion as I was still getting a feel for it)

You are incredibly sweet for taking the time to share this!!! Kosmic Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love this! So, I have a question. Would it be possible to color the fondant while its still flat on a board and then let it dry, and lay That over the cake?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't do that, myself. When you pick up the fondant to put over the cake, it tends to stretch a bit. Also, when you are smoothing the fondant over the cake, there's the possibility for it to smear.
