Yes. I myself am not very good at that but if you have patience, and keep the cake cool, I think it would go well. My only suggestion would be to ombre the back ground with the frosting rather than trying to paint it. Does that make sense? I hope that helps!
You know what, yes! Let me share that bc I like it better than store fondant….for painting specifically. But I have to find it first lol it’s super basic.
What other shade of blue can one use besides delphiunium blue.cant find that one in Zimbabwe. Would love to try and paint my birthday cake this coming weekend.
You can use any blue you'd like- because it's gradient I think most would look good. This blue is kind of in-between a dark and light, so I'd just mix those until your happy (I wish I could give you an exact amount, but you use such a small amount that its hard to measure and I don't know which blues you have access to). Then I'd have a scrap piece of fondant on the side to test the color before it goes on the cake. If there are specific blues you do have access to that you'd like me to see if I can test with let me know! 💙
Thanks a lot ,the cake turned out quite okay for a beginner. I draw here and there, I had never really painted . Is there a platform where I can send you the pictures?
@@FiveTwoBaker I use that color from Wilton a lot. I haven't done a whole painting , just little bits. I did a Mexican themed cake with simple flowers painted on.
So I use alcohol bc it dries so quickly. And it evaporates, so it’s not consumed. You can always use a clear extract, like vanilla or lemon, the same as you’d use for baking a cake or flavoring frosting, but those work well because they also contain alcohol. You can always use water, but it will take longer to dry so you have to be more careful bc it could cause the fondant to swell more easily. There are also paints like the “edible art” brand, but they’re more expensive, so I haven’t tested them out yet and can’t offer much help with them. I hope this gives you some options and helps explain things! 💖
My cake is covered in fondant. I like it for a more water color effect and bc it’s so easy to erase mistakes. For painting on a frosted cake you can do any frosting, you just have to make sure it’s set in the fridge so it’s very firm. It would also be easier to use edible art paints, rather than gel food colors. Hope this helps! ❤️
It can. But I’ve only had the problem when I take the cake out from a very cold fridge to a very warm space with no box around it to catch condensation. That was my fault 🤦🏻♀️.
I love love love had to subscribe after watching this video and would definitely try it

Yes. I myself am not very good at that but if you have patience, and keep the cake cool, I think it would go well. My only suggestion would be to ombre the back ground with the frosting rather than trying to paint it. Does that make sense? I hope that helps!
Amazing...👏👏👏
Thank you so much! 💙
wat color u use on cake for painting
I'm using gel colors. The exact colors are named in the video and linked in the description. 💖
How to paint a fondant cake? Does it need to be placed inside refrigerator to be very cool before painting? Or in room temperature only?
Most importantly, it needs to be dry. Not sticky or sweaty. For this, mine needs to sit out a bit.
Do you have the recipe for the fondant? Looks great 🎨
I want to try it but I need to make the fondant 😊
You know what, yes! Let me share that bc I like it better than store fondant….for painting specifically. But I have to find it first lol it’s super basic.
What paints do you use? Gel, liquid??
I use both gel and liquid, however, I prefer gel and will always use that over liquid. 💖
Hello 👋🏼nice job 👍🏼did you mixing the jel colours with another things like water or something else while painting ?
Thank you! I mix them with food grade alcohol (for me, that’s vodka). 💙
On buttercream or fondont ? 💙💙
Fondant. Buttercream could never hold up to that kind of abuse! 😅💙
Wow
Thank you! ☺️💙
What other shade of blue can one use besides delphiunium blue.cant find that one in Zimbabwe. Would love to try and paint my birthday cake this coming weekend.

@@FiveTwoBaker ok ,thanks a lot.Will feedback the result.
Thanks a lot ,the cake turned out quite okay for a beginner. I draw here and there, I had never really painted . Is there a platform where I can send you the pictures?
How exciting! I’m on IG and FB! Im @fivetwobaker on both. Hope I get to see! ❤️❤️❤️
@@FiveTwoBaker ok thanks,sent your Instagram account.
OOO that is my favorite blue. Have you done this on buttercream yet?
It’s not what I thought I’d use, but I’m glad I did! I haven’t done it in buttercream yet, but I’m going to! Have you??? 💙
@@FiveTwoBaker I use that color from Wilton a lot. I haven't done a whole painting , just little bits. I did a Mexican themed cake with simple flowers painted on.
Oooo! I’ll have to look for that one! I’m not a huge fan of painting on buttercream, but I’m going to do a cake just for fun. To have done it! lol
Looks great! 🎄❤🤗☃️
Thank you Cristina!!! ❤️
It's really awesome 🤩
Can I use liquid food colour?
Thank you! You definitely can use liquid! Just always be careful to not have too much liquid in your brush. You don’t want to melt the fondant. 💖
Is there any alternative to the alcohol pls. Thanks
So I use alcohol bc it dries so quickly. And it evaporates, so it’s not consumed.
You can always use a clear extract, like vanilla or lemon, the same as you’d use for baking a cake or flavoring frosting, but those work well because they also contain alcohol.

What frosting is best for a painted cake?
My cake is covered in fondant. I like it for a more water color effect and bc it’s so easy to erase mistakes. For painting on a frosted cake you can do any frosting, you just have to make sure it’s set in the fridge so it’s very firm. It would also be easier to use edible art paints, rather than gel food colors. Hope this helps! ❤️
can I use water to dilute the gel colour?
You can, but it will take longer to dry. I’d test it out first. ❤️
Does condensation ruin the painting?
It can. But I’ve only had the problem when I take the cake out from a very cold fridge to a very warm space with no box around it to catch condensation. That was my fault 🤦🏻♀️.
@@FiveTwoBaker what do you recommend for condensation?
