How To Paint A Floral Buttercream Cake | CHELSWEETS

I've seen some stunning painted cakes this summer, and it inspired me to try my hand at painting! I have no artistic background, but I've seen Bob Ross on TV, and tried my hand at creating layers of "paint!"

I fell in love with the floral pattern on a sundress I found at H&M, and used it as my inspiration for this cake design.

I frosted a small cake made with ombre blue layers, using my favorite vanilla layer cake recipe and american buttercream.

I allowed the cake to sit in the fridge for an hour, to allow the buttercream to really firm up, and crust! I know it sounds strange, but because of the frosting's high sugar content, it crusts as it sits and it exposed to air.

Once the frosting crusted, I mixed together some gel food coloring and vodka to create my paint! The vodka helps the food coloring dry faster, due to it's high alcohol content. It also helps thin out the food coloring, to help create different shades of blue.

If you don't want to use alcohol, you can also use lemon extract!

Painting the cake takes quite a while, so I had to pop the cake back into the fridge several times, since the frosting will begin to soften as it sits out at room temperature.

It's nice to take breaks, to allow the paint to dry, and to enable you to layer the "paint" to create more dimension in your shapes. It also it good for your back and your hand to take breaks :P
