Watercolor Cake Paint

Channel your artistic side with this edible watercolor accent.

Watercolor-inspired cake decorating has been a buzzy trend for birthdays, holidays, and beyond. Bring the sought-after look home with this quick tip.


Ingredients:

Liquid Food Coloring

Everclear


Instructions:

1. In a small bowl or dish, combine a few drops of liquid food coloring with a splash of Everclear. Mix thoroughly.

2. Use a clean, food-safe paintbrush to paint brushstrokes, designs, and washes of color onto a plain frosted cake. (For best results, paint directly on fondant icing, which provides a clean and smooth surface.)

3. Experiment with different “saturations” of color, by using more or less Everclear with your food coloring.

 

Please Enjoy Responsibly.
