TECHNIQUES
Did you miss any of these clever cake tricks from this year? We revisit our eight
favourite techniques of 2017 to infl uence cake design for years to come!1 Using your airbrush and some
pink airbrush colour, gently colour
approximately one third of the
cake with a light spray of pink.
Add some blurred lines by spraying
slightly heavier in sections. You can
add a drop of black to the pink to
darken it also.3 Clean the pink out of your
airbrush by spraying water through
it. Using the yellow airbrush colour,
spray approximately one third of the
cake yellow, slightly darker at the
top and bottom but very light in the
centre as shown.4 Using blue with a drop of black,
spray the remainder of the cake in a
blotchy pattern, adding some lines
in the yellow section.5 Using a cotton bud dipped in
alcohol, remove some colour in
varying sized circles as shown.6 Use navy petal dust mixed with
a little alcohol to paint a thin line
around each circle. Shade the top
sections of the circles with the paint.7 Using the white petal
dust mixed with a little
alcohol, highlight the
centre of each circle.2 Spray some horizontal lines by
holding a cake card or paper in
front of the cake and spraying
directly under it. The closer you go
with your airbrush the more defi ned
the lines will be.sections of the circles with the paint.RAINDROP AND AIRBRUSH EFFECTS
