DIY Wedding Cakes, 3 Ways
Design #1: Rose Gold Art Deco Cake
Step One: Gather Materials for Sequin Tier
Step 2: Paint on Syrup
Step 3: Add Sprinkles
Step 4: Mix Rose Gold Paint
Step 5: Paint the Cake
Step 6: Stencil Bottom Tier
For this tier, you'll need one white fondant-covered cake (larger than the sequin tier), a plastic stencil with Art Deco motif and the rose gold paint used previously. Directions: Gently but firmly hold the stencil to the side of the cake. If you have trouble holding it with one hand, ask a helper to assist you. Dip a 1-inch artist brush in the paint and lightly brush over the stencil. Remove the stencil to reveal the image. Wash and dry the stencil between each use to avoid paint smears. Allow the cake to stand until dry, at least one hour.
