I recently made a camouflage cake for a friend and I was surprised how easy it was to
make! I decided to make a quick and easy guide to follow!!

Tools Required
1. At least 3 piping bags filled with different colored CRUSTING buttercream
FYI: Crusting buttercream is frosting that will dry to the touch.
2. High density foam roller and offset spatula
Step One: Crumb Coat Cake
Step Two: Make abstract patterns on cake
Make sure the same color of buttercream is never touching

Once complete let buttercream dry for five minutes.Don't worry if some of the white crumb coat shows from underneath. It won't when you're finished.

Step Three: Roll cake gently with foam roller until smooth
Do not stay on one area of the frosting too long. Over rolling the cake in one area will result
in the oils from the cake rising out of the frosting, making the foam roller wet. It make also
result in bleeding of one color into another.

Where do I find a high density foam roller? Hardware or cake supplies? Would a pastry roller work? It's plastic, not foam.
ReplyDeleteHi. :You have to use a high density roller. You should be able to get it at Home depot, Lowes, or hardware store. Cake store usually don't sell it. It should be in the painting section.
