So, being totally honest, my first attempt at painting directly onto a tier of one of Charlotte Jane's wedding cakes was not great! It was largeand clumsy and more resembled one of my large-scale wall paintings rather than the detailed watercolour paintings I transform into wedding stationery!
But not to be disheartened, I got 'back on the bike', and after a little more practising, found that the fine detail I was used to capturing on paper, was also possible on icing...
It was necessary to be less "William Morris" with all-over patterning anda bit more "Cath Kidston" with plenty of background space... Layering of paint as with watercolours was not really working but a similar technique to working with emulsion paint worked well - lots of white edible paint needed...
Leaves and green tendrils were added along with green ribbon to finish off this gorgeous three-tiered wedding cake which was due to appear at a wedding fair that very weekend!Looking very grand and ready to go to Woodland Castle Wedding Fair last Sunday...
