I do not do fondant... or do airbrush... so that leaves me with very limited resource is the BC Frosting... how can I create a cake to look like a tie dye with the frosting only...

Your help and suggestions would be greatly apprecaited...

Thanks!!!!!!

Hi,
I piped lines of buttercream in numerous colors in patterns on the cake. Then drug a toothpick through the lines to make it look kind of fanned out. Take a look at the picture to get an idea. I thought it looked pretty tie dyeish.

KimAZ has a good idea...if you made a bullseye type pattern with different colors you could drag in and out from the center circle to make a tie dye design. you could make different bullseye designs with different alternating colors all over the cake.

I love this - it looks great! Can't wait to try it out

I know you said you don't do Fondant, but I did a tye dye using fondant, but I actually sponge painted it. Just a thought you could try it on a test to see if it'd work. I used Amiracolor liquid colors.

Hi, There is a uk website for a company called David Cakes, he does a lot in buttercream and there are several examples of cakes that I think could easily pass as tie dye! The website is www.davidcakes.co.uk and here is an example of the sort of thing I am talking about! (By the way the website is way crazy.. takes a while to get through it all!) Hope it helps!

Its not butter cream but I did this for my son's Birthday today. Made it with home made fondant. Not only was it fun to make. It tasted great to!

Such beautiful cakes that are posted in this link!! I will have to try the tie-dye look as I have also wondered how to do the tie dye effect!!

okay.. click on galleries.. then click on search button. type tye-dye in the box and hit enter.. then enjoy the hundreds of photos of tye-dye cakes.. alot made with buttercream.

OMG....That David Cakes website gave me a headache! LOL...that is the busiest home page I've ever seen.
