Here Are the Best Cake Painting Materials I have Used to Paint on Buttercream

This video will share what I have discovered are so far the best cake painting materials for painting on American buttercream. I like them even better than the materials I used for last week's painting tutorial. These are the best for buttercream cake because they don't crack or bleed into the buttercream. These materials remain blendable for a decent amount of time when painting on your cake, and that's the best for painting things like flower because it's good for making shadows and highlights. Plus the materials are easy to find and inexpensive!
Next week, I plan on doing a painting tutorial that focuses on Swiss Merinque Buttercream. So SUBSCRIBE and don't miss it! I post cake tutorials every Monday at 8pm PST.

Adore your style, you’re an incredible artist! I really appreciate how you go through your thought process and details like not needing to clean your brush, etc. Gorgeous piece and great tutorial! Thanks

[@dj68renee]

Omgee! I’m so glad I found this video. I have to paint a graphic on a wedding cake and I was so nervous about bleeding and the translucency of gel colors. This will work so much better! Thank you!

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

Fantastic!!! I absolutely love this technique and how it comes out!!! Practice on a throw away cake first.😄💛💛💛

[@shelley-anneavisenis613]

Beautiful cake. As a painter, you can fix frayed (splayed) brushes by dipping just the bristles in boiling water, but as you correctly say, not past the metal or it affects the adhesive

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

Oh thank you so much for the tip! I’m going to try it with some of my brushes. Why didn’t anyone ever teach me that in art school?!😆

[@jannetmontielceron5169]

I need to try this! Looks so good!

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

Yeah you do! I’m really pleased with how it works. If you do try it, I’d love to see how it comes out!

[@nakiryajoan8674]

Your worthy following my dear. You deserve billion views, likes and subscribers 🥰

[@krazykara1327]

Your tutorials are very useful. Thank you so much!

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

That is wonderful to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting

[@krazykara1327]

@@kyongscakesncrafts was the cake in the freezer, fridge or room temperature? When the color stiffens up, I take it it stiffens up on the brush too, so what do you do for te brush to let it be smooth again? Thx a lot. Nice work.

[@faiza152]

I just found out about your channel 😍 Hope someday you can make the face painting on buttercream tutorial ❤️ Subscribed !

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

That is a possibility for sure!!! Thanks for the idea! Thank you so much for subscribing!

[@krazykara1327]

If you make a mistake while painting, how to take it off? And, how to keep the brushes warm while painting as that the cocoa butter tends to solidify on the brush. Thank you!

[@desiartistinnewyork]

This turned out so beautiful😍 Keep going! Warm Regards from another artist❤

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

Aw thanks! I appreciate the encouragement so much, you have no idea! And thank you for watching. Do you decorate cakes?

[@marieresto]

I love this technique but have a question. I have a wedding cake this July and was wondering will these flowers run once the cake reaches room temperature?

[@paulloya6217]

Waiting for that @hellocakesy guest spot. 😀

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

Once quarantine is over, that would be sooo fun!

[@bhuvijain]

Love the technique! Beautiful cake❤️ What can one substitute cocoa butter with? Will regular butter or vodka be ok?

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

You can use vodka, but the color is more likely to crack and bleed into the buttercream. There is a tutorial on my channel that show painting with gel color and vodka on buttercream.

[@bhuvijain]

@@kyongscakesncrafts thanks. How about regular butter? I have no idea how to source cocoa butter.

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

I’ve never tried regular butter. Give it a go, just spread a little frosting out on a board and try painting with the butter and petal dust and see what happens. 😁 I got the cocoa butter on amazon.

[@sweetbytesokc]

Hi! Great video, do you have a link to the cocoa butter and petal dust you used? I love the way your painting turned out! Thank you!

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

Oh no ! I knew I forget to add something to the description! Here it is and thanks so much for watching! Nuvia Organics Cocoa Butter - 100% USDA Certified Organic, Raw Unrefined Pressed Wafers, Food Grade, Edible, Keto, Vegan; 8oz www.amazon.com/dp/B071RSNWMT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_KumOO9KM2sG41

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

As far as the petal dust, I just use whatever random brands I have.

[@barbiez_4ever]

Thank you for the tutorial. Is this cake fondant cover or any other buttercream?

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

Thanks for watching! It’s Swiss meringue buttercream

[@teambarcelona30]

instead of butter for the gel paint can we use vodka?

[@periwinklepony5625]

Doesn't the buttercream melt whilst painting? I marvel at the fact that your cake stays out of fridge because some need to put their cakes in and out of the fridge.

Awesome! I appreciate you so much!!

[@dishachauhan1124]

Can I paint on Russian buttercream?

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

You know, I’ve never heard of that but I’m intrigued. What’s the difference between that and Swiss meringue?

[@dishachauhan1124]

It is also called as condensed milk buttercream

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

Oh I’m gonna read about it. I’ve never tried it. Thanks!

[@hilarysutherland682]

What is “Swiss meringue?”

[@kyongscakesncrafts]

It’s a type of buttercream, using egg whites and dissolved sugar
