In these video tutorials, I normally use Bakels Premixes to save on time.
(Bakels is a bakery grade cake premix. Another great one is Allied Mills)

And that is probably going to be the last wateroclour cake decorating tutorial for a while haha. But I just love love love this look- now imagine if you had a few different colours incorporated in there? I wanted to keep things sweet and simple, but the sky is the limit with this baby.
I hope this was of inspiration to you! And venturing a little off topic now, I just want to announce that very soon, I would love to do a live Ask Me Anything session! I actually do have a few questions for you guys as well ;) but I will put up a random non cake related video soon just to set a date and time for this session where I can finally connect with you guys live!
Thanks again for all of your awesome support and for keeping this channel alive! Until next xxx
With love,
Rosie

The is s stunning. I adore the watercolor effect by itself but adding the gold to it just makes it perfection. I too love the little bit you added over the blue. The play of textures with the smooth white fondant, the blue water color and the shiny gold are just gorgeous

[@michelesilverman1861]

Love this cake! Rosie…question..if this is refrigerated could the gel color “drip” when coming to room temp (moisture)? If so, how does one handle that if the cake is dropped off at venue? Thank you again

[@lupitamoreno333]

Holaa, excelente explicacion,,saludos desde Reynosa Tamaulipas Mexico

[@storytalecakes]

This is amazing Rosie

[@tyila_xxo]

If I don’t have rose water or vodka; what can I use for substitute???

[@janenewlin6367]

Thank you! This was a great tutotial

[@surbhihere]

Hi Rosie, Thanks for posting this video 🥰🥰 it. I was wondering if I can just use water to the gel food color to paint ? I can’t buy rose water or vodka during pandemic

[@larissalynch5989]

I love that cake

[@mishp5304]

Beautiful! I just made your watercolour sea themed cake for my Dad's birthday :) Would you be able to do this technique with just buttercream frosting and lustre dust mixed with rose spirit and paint it on?

[@lizmariesf]

Where can I find those huge gold leaf sheets?

[@nicoleonian]

Could you do this using alcohol with colour or would water be better if rose water isn't available? I assume alcohol would dry quicker?

[@twistedsprinklescakes3750]

Would you share the size/ brand of gold leaf y9u use please. Love your video

[@kimramcharitar8191]

Hi ur work is beautiful what’s the brand of fondant u use

[@SweetJoye]

Very beautiful

[@bolisdalva6263]

que bonito color

[@vinhasa]

Can you do this directly to the buttercream?

[@1129josey]

Square wedding cake in medium shade blu and pink!

[@mariaolindaferreirapinto9511]

Lindo perfeito 👏👏👏

[@LorenRodrigues]

Would that work direct on buttercream? I don’t like fondant :(

[@bvtsquad6116]

Truely you cakes a so beautiful

[@adrivan3811]

Hi, do you ever use chocolate ganache under your fondant and if so what is the pros and cons compare to buttercream

[@sisterartsandkrafts1755]

Rosie, do you have a buttercream recipe

[@lucivaniaramos6770]

Maravilhoso 😍

[@tyila_xxo]

Why is there still a cake board under the 5inch smaller cake even though you put it on the larger cake?

[@rhiannonrussell5334]

What is the brand of the blue colour you used please?

[@cleidemarbarcellos9533]

Lindo

[@IMakeupStuff]

If you put the cake in the freezer, could you do this with just buttercream instead of fondant? I hate the way that fondant tastes! I may be in the minority there... haha

[@shorty634]

I Makeup Stuff I hate fondant and the taste is horrific even though it makes things look so much crisp lol

[@IMakeupStuff]

I know! It's so gross!

[@helenag4397]

I think you could use modeling chocolate, it tastes much better

[@trishagarud3555]

no... you're not alone. i hate it too.

[@louisagrizzard8357]

I hate it too

[@christim8408]

Thank you Rosie it is beautiful! Can you make a fall theme cake. Thanks.

[@arleenmunox9086]

Can this design be done on top of buttercream instead of fondant?

[@user-vh9cz1ol8y]

Супер

[@ShadowCentaurus]

wow o amazing!

[@thefoxynerds6274]

Beautiful! Can you dilute the color with lemon extract or vodka to get the same effect?

[@Rosiesdessertspot]

Hi hun, yes you sure can :)

[@ramzeenramzeenihsani3620]

Hi... I'm Ur new subscriber... Pls can you give Ur fondant recipe pls

[@SixSweetUnder]

Can you do this on chilled American buttercream?

[@Rosiesdessertspot]

hi lovely! Yes you can :) but American buttercream without vegetable shortening added, just purely butter, icing sugar, milk and vanilla. Sometimes vegetable shortening is added, and the oil content in that is next level. The paint is repelled by the fat, and you end up with splotchy paint that doesn't seem to want to stick.

[@afreenimrankhan6303]

Plz make some tutorials with whip cream...

[@nellibelli0202]

Can you do watercolour on buttercream cakes ???

[@evadnerock7856]

HAULA HOLIC yes you can

[@raffachannel6071]

Sangat bagus...

[@aninditasaha4610]

Is there any way of doing this same design on white chocolate ganache?

[@Rosiesdessertspot]

Hi hun, that is a good questions. I have never tried it personally, but I imagine the fat / oils from the chocolate and the cream might repel the paint, whereas fondant will absorb it. It's worth a try though! even if you do a little tester on baking paper with ganache that has had time to set :)

[@munacakes]

Love your voice and videos! 💋🌹🌸❤

[@Rosiesdessertspot]

naww haha thank you so much hun! x

[@agustd1446]

[@wearesatellites91]

is gold leaf edible??

[@user-cj8iw4nc2l]

Класс

[@xoeilonataffijn9756]

Were do you learn dose??

[@aliajaber3671]

Can I use regular water instead of rose water

[@Rosiesdessertspot]

Hi hun, unfortunately that wouldn't work as well. Rosewater evaporates quickly, leaving behind a nice dark paint. Water takes much longer to dry on fondant, and the fondant can react and melt down if the moisture is there for too long. But white vinegar or lemon juice / extract can also do the trick if alcohol / spirit is the problem :)

[@jenlovesjobros]

What kind of cake board is that?

[@0620eve]

hi rosie

[@cupcake062807]

What can i use instead of rose spirit? I cant find it here in the states.
