I had to do a camouflage (sp?) pattern today on part of a cake, so I thought I'd take pictures along the way. I see a lot of posts asking how to do camo in bc and I thought it may help someone else to see a visual.
Hope you understand what I mean in the pictures. Sometimes I don't excel at explaining myself.


Thank you, I know a lot of people will benefit from this tutorial!
And you did a great job explaining yourself.
Oh and I love your roller, it makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one with stained rollers...lol
It's that red bc man gets me everytime!

You know it! That roller used to be white. The first one I had started out yellow and turned pink like that after a very short time. I do a ton of bc cakes, so use it all. the. time.


awesome tutorial! thanks! will have to remember it for future use!

THANK YOU for the tutorial...you did a fantastic job! both in photos and explanation. I've heard about the roller method but have not purchased one...will now.



Thanks so much for that Jam! I could have used that tutorial over a year ago. I made a cake for my son for his birthday. He is in the Army National Guard. My finished cake looked like your pic number 3! Kind of wormy.
Now I know what to do the next time. Thanks again!





please where did you get the foam paint roller from. Am in the uk please.
It's a high density foam roller from any hardware store


Thanks for the tutorial! That would be really cool to do with bright tie-dye colors.

Any of our DIY stores will have them, B&Q, Homebase, Wickes etc. Also look in Wilkinsons, pound shops etc.
Basically anywhere that sells paint should have these small rollers

This is wonderful and easy to understand. Now, how do you do it with fondant?


That's exactly how I do it, except I'm a Viva gal!!
Everyone asks me how to do it, and I just say "Skill, people, skill"! If they only knew how easy....

I know! When a customer comes by, I always make sure my paint roller is out of sight.

This is great! I have had no occasion to make a camouflage cake yet glad I have a reference for how to do it! It also makes me want to try melvira. I'm going to get a paint roller today! I've only ever used viva. Thanks again!

Did this the other day with viva and it turned out beautiful.

this is an ingenious method. i agree with crisseyann, it would be fun to do a tie-dye cake.


Thank you for this tutorial, it is very well explained but I'd like to know what you use as crumbcoat? it does'nt look as buttercream to me.
Thank you again??
It is buttercream...just a VERY thin layer of it. I normally don't even crumbcoat this type of cake, but the camo colors need something to stick to.
