Autumn Pumpkin Scene

Covered in buttercream icing. The background is done with an airbrush. Everything else was painted with a paintbrush. I had a couple of accidents. I dropped something on the end of the fence and for some reason I couldn't keep my fingers away form the edge of the cake. This was just practice so I didn't worry about it being perfect. I didn't even put a border around it.

This is so inspiring! I have to try something like this! I don't have an airbrush so I'll have to modify. Beautiful cake!

Very artistic!! but how do you paint on BC using a brush. Do you use a special technique? I thought that the BC would stick to the brush in lumps. I guess we would appreciate your advise.

Wow you are an accomplished artist! Just amazing.

I don't really have a special technique. I only used two brushes to do this scene. I used the buttercream icing for frozen transfers recipe from here. It is my favorite. I put the different colors of buttercream in small cups and wipe excess on the brush on the sides of the cup. When I change colors, I just wipe the brush with a paper towel.
