How To Make Silver Sequin Cake

I've been crazy busy MAKING a ton of fun projects and recipes!  I've been on a roll and take been having then much fun!  I have and then much to share with yous, and I'thou starting with sharing the tutorials from this silver sequins and gumpaste flowers nuptials cake a few months agone!  Sequins today, flowers up adjacent!

I have been in LOVE with the metallic cakes, especially the sequined ones, I've seen all over Pinterest.  So when the opportunity arrived to design my own cake I couldn't WAIT to give it a shot!

It took some playing, a few fails, but I'one thousand really happy with how it went!  I hope you guys savor the tutorial and I'd LOVE to run across pictures of any cakes you create using this tutorial! (or if you lot observe that something else works better for you lot)

And then first I tried rolling out a gumpaste/fondant mixture (white).  Then I tried airbrushing it- no bueno, the argent spray paint was like Blueish, NOT argent similar I wanted.

Then NEXT I rolled out more white and painted it with this silvery glaze.  Information technology was a nice shade of silver with a bully polish.  But the problem with the glaze is trying to paint a second coat messed up the offset coat, but I didn't love just one layer.

BUT I continued on, I let it dry then cut out a ton of circles using a circular tip.  FAIL – i. it took forever, and they kept sticking together, and ii. the edges were WHITE, I didn't want to take the time to paint each edge, boooo, and then nope.

Next upwards I tried luster dust!  I figured this would cover the sides of the sequins better.  So I rolled the white gumpaste/fondant mixture out, cut the circles so spread it out.  I then poured them into a baggie with luster grit and shook them all effectually!  This covered all the sides bully, BUT it didn't get shiny!  It was dark and boring, and didn't reflect the low-cal the way I wanted the sequins too! BOO

I also tried the spray paint with the luster grit, to goopy.  I also tried the coat with luster dust, nope…. GAH

FINALLY inspiration hitting, what if I put the sequins ON the cake then sprayed them?  I even so had the problem with the airbrush silver pigment looking BLUE.  And then instead of spraying WHITE fondant/gumpaste I decided to try Grayness gumpaste/fondant.  Besides to counteract the BLUE in the silver I added a BIT of red and golden (orange-y counteracts blue).

Then I rolled out iii different shades of grey, then spray painted the samples with the plain silver, a trivial of the red/gold and some other batch with more cerise/gold.  Then I took them outside and decided which look I liked the best (I liked the medium gray with the silvery with just a TAD scrap of the red/gold.

WINNER!  At present came the time consuming part.  Mixing the gumpaste/fondant mixer, dying it all grey and then rolling it out into a TON of sheets and cut out MILLIONS of circles.  I started rolling out multiple sheets, letting them dry out a bit, flipping, then drying a flake more.  Then I stacked the sheets then I could cutting iv at a time.

My finger still KILLED by the end AND it took and then much time I spend a few DAYS doing this and however wish I'd  had more.  ANYWAY.  Once yous cut them out, spread them out and let them dry out.

Next up embrace the cakes with the same shade of fondant, and so to get the fondant tacky you tin either brush it with clear vanilla/vodka OR I concluded up using my steamer on my cake to go information technology tacky (love my steamer!!!).

I steam a department at a time then using the aforementioned technique as this sprinkles cake I cover it with the circles working my mode around.  Pressing it into the block a bit (that's where the fresh fondant on the cake but dried circles works best).  I volition say that this is the same color of fondant, the stale circles faded, the result is nonetheless not bad.

I wasn't happy with one layer then I allow it dry, steamed it and did it again.  I WISH I had plenty circles to do a Tertiary round.  BUT alas, I didn't have enough.  I volition for Certain do more than next fourth dimension, esp the edges.  I think vodka would piece of work better than the steam, I'll effort that also.

THEN I used the silver (with a BIT of crimson/gold) and airbrushed the whole thing!  YAY, It'southward starting to come together!!!  I dear how it colors the sequins AND the fondant underneath.

Second layer of airbrushing!  Love!!!  Information technology's not QUITE as glossy shiny as I wanted, but I am SOOOO happy with how information technology looks!  The end issue is to Dice for and the whole cake looks Astonishing!  I tin can't look to try it in gold also!  Maybe a bronze?

What exercise you call up? What tutorial from this cake do yous desire to see next? Stenciling on a block? Or the Peony'due south, Ranunculus or Dahlia'due south?
