In a similar fashion as ‘Brush Embroidery’, you can create sketch-like effects with SugarVeil Icing.
List of Materials
- SugarVeil Icing
- Icing Dispenser, parchment cone, or piping bag fitted with small tip
- Flat toothpick
- parchment paper (greased)
1. Start with a simple flower design outlined with frilled edges.
2. Mix SugarVeil Icing as directed. After mixed, stir in a few drops of additional water to use in the SugarVeil Icing Dispenser. Place cartridge over mixture and, using plunger, fill cartridge 2/3 full with the icing. Here’s the Icing Disenser – http://www.sugarveil.com/icing_dispenser/index.htm. Alternately, you can use a parchment cone, or a piping bag fitted with a small tip.
3. Place a sheet of greased parchment over the design. Attach the largest tip (salmon-colored) to the cartridge and insert into the Icing Dispenser. Place your finger over the hole of the Icing Dispenser [http://www.sugarveil.com/icing_dispenser/index.htm] and trace the outside lines. The reason for the frilled edges is so a substantial amount of icing can be placed at the edges of the petals.
4. Using a flat toothpick, pull the edges of the petal outlines toward the center in swift strokes, leaving small spaces between the strokes.
5. When the outer edges have all been ‘pulled’ inward to create sketched lines, use the Icing Dispenser to outline the second set of petals.
6. Use the flat toothpick again to pull the border line of the interior set of petals inward.
7. When SugarVeil Icing is set, remove the flower by pulling the parchment paper in a downward direction over a sharp edge.
8. (close up) Pulling the parchment paper in a downward direction over a sharp edge to release the set SugarVeil decoration.
9. Place these SugarVeil ‘sketched’ flowers onto any cake surface (ganache shown here), or float them atop a sauce for a plated dessert. — with SugarVeil Confectionery Icing.

I am amazed that works! It is beautiful!
What a lovely cake. Very clever.
fab cannot wait
This is gorgeous, I can't wait to try it!
This is absolutely gorgeous :)
Really like this. Thank you for sharing. Time to experiment again - :)
This is a really beautiful technique!
Once the icing has set and is hard, how to you get it to BLEND on the edges of the cake WITHOUT breaking the flowers??????
Newhome, when the SugarVeil Icing is set, it is flexible, which allows it to bend and blend nicely atop the cake's surface. There's more information that shows how SugarVeil works at http://www.youtube.com/sugarveil and http://www.sugarveil.com. Thank you!
I love Sugarveil!!!
Hope this isn't a stupid question...Is there a recipe for this icing or do you have to order it?
zuckerblumen, you can order SugarVeil Icing directly from us at www.sugarveil.com - it's a dry mix icing that you use to do the above tutorial as well as many other things of which you can see photos here: sugarveil.com/techniques/. There are videos of techniques both here: Facebook.com/sugarveilicing, and at www.youtube.com/sugarveil. Thank you!
O this beautiful i can't wait to try it
How hard is it to work with?
I LOVE this! Getting Sugar Veil in this week, I can't wait to try it out! :D Wonderful tutorial!
What can I use if I don't have the icing dispenser? Would a syringe with a blunt needle on it work? (I am a nurse and have access to that kind of thing)
I have been looking for this technique, thanks!!
I have been looking for this technique, thanks!!
Wow i didn't know it was made like that thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Waoh! Beautiful!
This looks absolutely amazing! I cannot wait to try this. Thanks so much for breaking this down in "simple non complex instructions" so people like myself can follow them lol.
Thanks, all, for the lovely comments. @patticakes1959 (sorry I missed your question until now), in lieu of the SugarVeil AirPen Piping Dispenser [http://sugarveil.com/product/sugarveil-airpen-piping-dispenser/], you can use a parchment cone - restrict the opening so it is very very fine.
