How To Paint A Rose & Flowers On A Cake

In this short video we'll demonstrate how to delicately paint a charming floral design onto sugarpaste or fondant icing using edible paste food colours mixed with a touch of water. With practice, you'll soon master this technique, achieving a stunning watercolour effect. If painting directly onto your cake feels daunting, here's a handy tip: cover a cake board in icing and leave overnight to dry before painting as a decorative topper.
