Beautiful cake and thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial!

I think if you used a large tip maybe 3-4 and let it sit out for a long time and your fondant was soft you shouldn't have a problem.

Goodluck, if it does work please let us know.

That is such a pretty cake Rocketgirl. I absolutely love the scroll pattern. Can you tell me where you found the image? It is so beautiful.

no way! I had no idea you could do something like that!! I am going to try that for my birthday cake I'm making tomorrow. That was too cool. Thanks!!

I can't remember where I finally tracked it down, but if you go to, istockphoto .com and search "scroll shape" and only select illustrations it comes up with quiet a few, just find the one you like
its okay if its pixalated because you still get the idea

That looks fun! I know I will defintitely try this method at some point in my decorating adventures. I am way too picky about the way my hand piping on the sides of cakes looks. I am no ThanThan!

Great

there is another post going on talking about using puffy paint..... supposedly its non-toxic... which i dont know if that means food safe... i think there is a difference...

but something worth trying! might stick to the acrylic better.

Rocket your cake is fabulous and thank you so much for taking the time to share all this with the rest of us! Great idea, I can't wait to try it!!!
I've been in a rut and I think this just gave me that lil push out of it, Thank you

Thanks so much for the tips--I learned sooo much from just this one post!! Your cake is awesome--great idea using the frames!!
Gotta ask--what color did you use for the cake?? I didn't realize you could get a shine on buttercream-still learning more!

I am glad I could help out!

Jeannem... I use an airbursh and used Luck's brand gold shimmer. LOTS of it.. I also used the Luck's ivory shimmer.

I sprayed the gold over white BC. The ivory i sprayed over ivory BC.

Good luck! If you develop this method more please let me know! haven't used it since.. and I know its not the best way.. but at least it works

Thanks Rocketgirl!! You rock!!

Thanks! I always wondered! Thank's for the step by step!

very cool. i will definately have to try this technique.

What a cool idea. Good thinkin'. I can't wait to try it.

cool i l'm going to try to. could you try and seal the ri with elmers glue it's non toxic

This is how I do all of my lettering, except I use plastic/acetate sheets. I bought some plastic folders and cut them up to use for my mats.

Also, I did try this on fondant, but not on a cake. I made a fondant banner that I later attached to a cake. The impression helped me with my lettering. It's in my pix- the cake is Analiese's Blue Farm. (If you look, please try not to notice the horrid rough BC...I do much better now.)
I'm not sure you could apply enough pressure if you are pressing it directly onto a cake.

The stuff you guys come up with is amazing! I love it! I can't wait to try this technique on a cake. With all the knew things I learned I'll never run out of ideas! The cake looks great by the way!

Rocketgirl, you are the goods! Thanks for the tutorial, and your cake is phenomenal. I'm sitting here drooling as we speak. I can't wait to try this out .

Wow! This is great. Thanks for putting it together. Looking forward to trying it.

Mike McCarey used this technique on his Scooby Doo cake in a Food Network Challenge. They were imprinting a large section of "heiroglyphics" (sp). Unfortunately, I can't find a photo of the cake.

Great minds think alike, RocketGirl!

well it was never MY concept.... i just couldnt find a tutorial. The girl Mary- with red hair--who is on challenge a lot did it on her simpson cake.


I just get happy when I can share something CC has taught me so much!

I learned the technique from the book Two Hour Party Cakes by Carol Deacon.

great idea thanks for sharing
