Mini Brush Embroidery

This little cake is just 4 inches wide. It's another one I made for the auction.

I used a clean brush to "paint" food coloring directly onto the fondant covered cake. Once the food coloring dried, I piped white royal icing on and used a small brush to pull through the icing - creating the brush embroidery effect. I love how this one turned out!

Mini Popcorn Cake

This cake is only about 4 inches in diameter. It was so small and so fun to make!

The cake is covered in homemade fondant, and the tickets are made from the same fondant. I used a clean paintbrush (used only for cake decorating) to "paint" the stripes onto the cake. If you'd like to paint on fondant, just mix a little gel food coloring with some vanilla extract to dilute it, and use it just like you would use water colors.

The popcorn is made from miniature yellow marshmallows. I used clean scissors to snip each marshmallow in one direction, and then again across the first cut to make an "x." Then, I pushed the cut pieces out a little and used a small brush to paint yellow food coloring inside the cut for the popcorn kernel.

Wouldn't this be a fun cake for a movie party?

Happy caking!
