How can I decorate a cake where they "paint" on little flowers on fondant and such?

This woman wants me to make her wedding cake after the designer Mackenzie-Childs who makes plates and stuff, and it's all sortof whimsical, colorful stripes and checks, and hand-painted pansies. What do I use to hand-paint pansies on their cake?

I am a great cook and an average baker, but I can pass along some sites that may help!...This is the way that I usually have to cheat when it comes to making this kind of stuff! You will find a lot of great ideas, pix, and instructions!

Good luck!
Reply:Wow, if you have never done this before I hope you are going to practice, practice, practice before you make her cake.



Your best bet is to go to a hobby store, such as Michael's and talk to someone in the cake decorating section.
