Oh Oh Oh I have been wanting to try this for sometime now but between all my cake orders and 4 kids that apparently have to at least 3 times a day I haven't had the time to mess around lately.
So when I got the chance to do a Coraline cake I had to use this method.
Was I sure it would work, no, did that stop me from trying ,no, did it turn out better then I could have hoped for...yes!
Ok so basically it's nothing more then painting, but instead of using water colors or acrylics which I have much experience with (been painting my entire life) I used Royal Icing, thinned down to the consistency of poster paints, or acrylic craft paints.
For this go I did the tunnel that Coraline crawls through and the moon and night sky.
So the design was pretty basic, for my next attempt I'd like to try something a little grander but we will have to wait and see.
Here are some pics of the cake and the inspiration behind it.
The tree topper is a bamboo skewer wrapped in floral wire and covered in royal icing, I was on a Royal icing kick that week..lol
this is a beautiful work of art! great job!
