I wondering if anyone has tried to paint with buttercream on top of edible image? I wanted to do something with a softer image for mothers day. I don't think it would look roght as a fbct. Any thoughts??? Has anyone tried it?

I have seen cakes here on CC that were painted with buttercream, just like an oilcolour. I can't remember who did them but they were pretty amazing. Give it a shot, it's worth a try!

talmas has a lot of beautiful buttercream paintings! this one's my favorite:

I Love her work...but could never do anything "freehand" I think I just might give it a try on top the edible image.....I am such a cheater! Thanx for the response, Lisa
