[@tamarascheffler5901]

This is absolutely one of the best tutorials I have seen. Thank you for your time and expertise.

[@Canuckmom128]

Excellent tutorial and fabulous tip on thinning gumpaste to piping consistency. Thanks !

[@combocutters]

You are welcome, hope you give it a try.

[@decz4457]

Hi I have been searching for this technique using other material other than royal icing coz I don't want to waste the egg yolk! I am so glad your video popped in! I will definitely try this fondant brush technique! Count me in as a new subscriber! 😊

[@combocutters]

Thank you. Just make sure that your fondant isn't too stretchy!

[@CupcakeGirl9681]

Absolutely love this tutorial Marion. Thank you for taking the time to make it and upload it.

[@julienolan5703]

This is a most wonderful tutorial! Your voice is very easy to listen to! Thank you so much for your time! ~Jules from Rhode Island, USA

[@combocutters]

Thank you so much!

[@komoriaimi]

I like the twist of using thin gum paste. Never seen it before. Very well explained. Loved the tip of the double line on the longest stroke, makes perfect sense.

[@combocutters]

The gum paste works best using one without too much stretch, that is the reason I use the Renshaw brand. Hope you enjoy trying it out.

[@نورالهدى-ه4ذ5ف]

Wow... thank you for sharing your talent... I cant wait to try this

[@combocutters]

Hi Martin, yes you can use royal icing, in fact it was royal icing that I originally used many years ago.You can create finer work with it and use a number two piping nozzle and a number 1 paintbrush, but sugarpaste and a larger brush is quicker :)

[@AC-jm9wz]

Wow! Thanks for this! I'm so scared with royal icing and I didn't know this is possible with sugarpaste. You are a genius! Now I ca finally try vrush embroidery and do dots on my cakes. Such great knowledge added to my cakey journey. Can't thank you enough!

[@sharonscott54]

Love watching everything you do this, thank you for sharing it, will be practicing , using sugarpaste. I'm addicted to patchwork cutters, so adaptable, even the little ballerina I've just used, can be posed differently.x

[@Sharkie2004]

[@marinairwin4444]

WOW thank you that was FANTASTIC. Your Camara work shows all the details brilliant. You have another subscriber. Love Marina from Newcastle upon Tyne England xx

[@combocutters]

Hi Nermel, yes I think it is, although over here we use fondant to dip fancies but I would think you have the rolling out fondant. Doesn't it get complicated!!

[@imanhussein4177]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@cakes3D777]

Beautiful 👍👍 thanks for sharing

[@juliegreen9272]

What a lovely demostration of your cake you did on this video. It is a lovely design. Can you use this for a wedding cake?

[@combocutters]

Hi Julie, thank you for your lovely comments. This is perfect for a wedding cake and we will put an example in our new Cake Display 2 not sure when this will be available as we have only just put on Cake Display 1.

[@ljm9092]

Love your work ! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@combocutters]

Thank you Linda.

[@sallywebb1249]

Such clean work. Absolutely stunning. Thank you! Can you apply this technique to buttercream as well as fondant?

[@combocutters]

Hi Sally, thank you. I don't think it would work so well with buttercream but I will give it a try with Italian buttercream and let you know.

[@susaness4472]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial Marion

[@lynettenortman8823]

[@combocutters]

Hi Silvia, look forward to seeing the results,remember long sweeping strokes.

[@combocutters]

Thank you Bridget.

[@susieast450]

Beautiful...thank you for this tutorial. I can't wait to try this!

[@TWPQEQR]

It looks really nice !!

[@poppybutler1121]

This looks amazing! If you wanted coloured flowers would it be better to do it with coloured sugar paste, or with white sugar paste dusted with coloured powder?

[@combocutters]

+Poppy Butler Hi Poppy, you can do both, coloured sugarpaste gives a more solid colour but dusting later can be more delicate. Try dipping the brush in a mix of dust colour and alcohol and brushing the colour on when working the icing. This gives a delicate finish and a white edge around the petals. This also looks great with royal icing and the Renshaw ready made royal icing is perfect.

[@yvonneattridge-hall1834]

That is absolutely lovely. Thank you!

[@periwinklepony5625]

Very beautiful and immaculately done. I would like to do this too. How long is the drying period before brushing or painting on the colors?

[@combocutters]

For the sugarpaste I would leave the icing to dry for two to three hours before dusting. If you use royal icing then one hour would be sufficient time. It really depends on how warm the atmosphere is.

[@NS-uv9qd]

thank you very very much for your time and for sharing this wonderful video. It's the most benefit tutorial I have ever seen.

[@combocutters]

Thank you so much, very kind!

[@algeriandelight837]

+QN Muhsin That is true

[@combocutters]

Thank you!

[@linnetmbotto7212]

Wow because it was fondant not royal icing you can dust it with pearl dust... Nice tip. Thank you :-)

[@silviaapple4507]

Thank you for this tutorial! Tomorrow I'm going to try it and I'll let you know :)

[@MariaEAmaya]

Ok awesome, thank you!

[@anukuks3905]

Amazing tutorial! Very well taught! Thanks a lot! Is the brush embroidery only possible on a fondant covered cake?

[@combocutters]

Looks good on a royal iced cake and cookies, you could use royal icing as an alternative to sugarpaste for the brush embroidery.

[@terrisidell7041]

Thank-you for sharing!! Enjoyed it very much.

[@combocutters]

Thank you, Terri !

[@periwinklepony5625]

Thank you very much for your reply and most especially for sharing this tutorial with all of us here. God bless you :)

[@combocutters]

Thank you!

[@XBiscottiLadyX]

Just beautiful, how inspiring

[@44lovetodance]

Thank you for your great tutorial, you make me want to go and start.

[@combocutters]

Thank you! if you can't use the Renshaw sugarpaste ( ready to roll icing ) then try with their Royal Icing it is the same technique.

[@combocutters]

So pleased you enjoyed it.

[@redxraccoon]

Beautiful work. How hard does the sugar paste set? Is it possible to colour it metallic using ggold lustre dust and alcohol, or is it too soft?

[@combocutters]

The sugarpaste will dry back to the same consistency as it was before the water was added. As with any icing it is only the moisture evaporating that dries it out. When it is dry you can paint it with a mix of alcohol and lustre dust. I use food grade isopropyl alcohol instead of normal alcohol as it dries so quickly. It must be Food Grade and state this on the bottle. If you are unable to use alcohol then try pure lemon extract as this also dries very quickly and is available from most health food shops.

[@bobbibower5520]

doing the sugarpaste icing, i did exactly what you did. but mine turned out crappy. :( any suggestions? thx love ur show

[@aquavita1981]

Your cake look fabulous! I really want to give a try this type of decoration. Unfortunately I am new with all this brushes busines ( not cakes busines ;) ). Could you please advice what to buy- which brands of brushes you are using (dusting and no 6 is that all i need to know?) and if they have any specific names or something. Sorry to trouble you and I really hope you could advise me something in this matter. Thanks in advance

[@combocutters]

Hi Aquavita, you can use any numbered brush depending on the effect you are aiming for. A very fine brush such as a number (1) will give very fine detail, a number (3) will still be delicate but a number (6) will be bold with a deeper detail. Always remember long sweeping strokes and you won't go wrong ;)

[@tulasideviful]

Lovely! So talented. Hare Krishna :)

[@combocutters]

[@verocreaciones9699]

hola soy verónica de Argentina, quería saber cual es la pasta que utilizaste para realizar este trabajo.. es la pasta para cubrir torta?o la pasta que acá se llama pasta de goma que se realiza para hacer flores, las cuales quedan secas!!. muchas gracias!!!!

[@patticaketo9680]

yo tb qiero saber q pasta es

[@MiriamTherese]

This is probably a stupid question, but can you still achieve good outlines if you only have a thin star nozzle? I mean as the icing will be brushed out anyway? Thanks.

[@naomihaugh3245]

I would like to try this but I am nervous to.

[@abalister]

can you use royal icing for the same effect?

[@Violincoll]

I'm curious if you've tried this with white chocolate, or candy melts? I'm not a professional baker, but I want to try this technique with white chocolate on a ganache glazed flourless chocolate cake.

[@combocutters]

+Colleen McCullough I haven't tried this Colleen but if I were I would thicken my chocolate with a few drops of water ( see our Easter PDF tutorial on our website www.patchworkcutters.com) and pipe and brush the same as for royal icing or sugarpaste. The brush will need to be rubbed with a little vegetable shortening to prevent the chocolate from sticking. It can then be wiped clean and not rinsed in water. I need to have a play with this one :0)

[@bridgetmooya3945]

Wow I wish you can be my teacher you are great

[@combocutters]

Thank you Bridget!

[@jojones5626]

Simple but very effective. Wow!

[@combocutters]

thank you!

[@rubyhaddad2039]

Can I use fondant for the sugar paste? Great video x

[@xXxmissemmaxXx]

yes, it is the same thing.

[@combocutters]

Hi Ruby, yes rolled fondant is ok as long as it isn't too stretchy before adding the water.

[@carlosolguin1]

amazing work , where Can I buy the cutters? also when u say sugar paste what does it mean? gum paste , royal icing ?

[@gaymaddox136]

I am disappointed she has not been able to answer you because I have the same question. Am also wondering if this can be done with other types of icing, buttercream in particular. As people will be able to tell, I know little to nothing about decorating, but am fascinated by it nonetheless.

[@Nikadawn]

carlos olguin before she thinned the sugar paste, the paste was just the same as gum paste. After she thinned it down and used it to pipe with it became royal icing. gum paste dries rock hard when left in its solid state. the royal icing will also dry hard but it is a lot more brittle because it was thinned down. you could also make royal icing with just powdered sugar and egg whites until you get your desired consistency

[@Nikadawn]

Gay Lyall you can try to use buttercream but it won't work well because it won't dry out like the royal icing will. instead it would melt and all your hard work will be wasted. royal icing is really east to make, just powdered sugar and egg whites mixed together until desire consistency. more whites will make it thinner, more powdered sugar will thicken it

[@cookiemonster010395]

Wow it's just like art

[@judigilbert9142]

so beautiful i am going to try many thanks

[@combocutters]

Thank you Judi!

[@combocutters]

Hi Mildred, I have just tried it and it seems to be working ok here, we haven't heard of anyone else experiencing problems so I am at a loss for what to suggest. All I can say is keep trying, sorry!

[@alexsandraoliveira4635]

gostei muito, e com esse jeito pratico de ensinar. Adorei!

[@combocutters]

Hi, sorry for not replying sooner, I always use Regalice made by Renshaws always have, always will.:)

[@magavi61]

Beautiful, can i use fondant? Thanks

[@xXxmissemmaxXx]

yes, it is the same thing.

[@combocutters]

Mariahs Sidekick Hi guys, yes you can use rolled fondant, but if the one you use is too stretchy try a different brand or royal icing with a little piping gel added to slow down drying time. ( 1 teaspoon of gel to 4 tablespoons of royal icing )

[@nanoupansters6655]

a super nice cake awsome

[@mistika72]

Wow, this Is awesome! Tkx!

[@ritamcdonnell7583]

Questions: where do you buy Sugar Paste/Brand and same thing with the Luster Dust - brand name and vendor? Thanks! Beauiful video.

[@combocutters]

Sorry for the late reply Rita, in the US I would try Global Sugarart or any vendor listed on our website.

[@NS-uv9qd]

We are waiting for the more, God bless you.

[@combocutters]

More coming very soon, glad you enjoy them.

[@cookiemonster010395]

Thanks for sharing this. Really helpful :)

[@mysunshine805]

Im confused, is it rolled fondant or gumpaste that you make flowers of? Gumpaste dries much harder than rolled fondant.

[@danielatrigila7106]

nice, very nice!!!

[@juliehomer3884]

[@DPKL85]

Excellent !!!

[@combocutters]

Thank you!

[@nicatnyte]

This is amazing and so beautiful. I wonder how did you get the color of the fondant? That blue/grey is really gorgeous. It reminds me of Wedgwood.

[@combocutters]

It is a lovely shade, it is Renshaws Baby Blue Ready to Roll sugarpaste

Great videos thank's a lot

[@JW-jn5to]

Hi there, I tried various gumpastes, fondants and sugarpastes and did exactly what you said. Unfortunately, not one of them worked (they all came out stringy, stretchy and gluggy). What sugarpaste brand or recipe are you using please?

[@combocutters]

Hi, I use the original Renshaw ready to roll sugarpaste. They have also brought a range out that is too stretchy and other brands are also too stretchy. If you can't find one without the stretch then revert back to royal icing and brush in exactly the same way.

[@JW-jn5to]

You're an absolute gem; thank you so much!

[@altagraciadisla1233]

Wonderful.
