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! 😊
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
Beautiful, I love your work...great tutorial!! I am going to try the brush embroidery on my cookies with royal icing. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!
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!
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.
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
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!!
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 :)
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.
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.

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?
+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.
Thank you Maggie. You can buy our cutters on our website: www.patchworkcutters.com, find the Large Christmas Rose here: patchworkcutters.com/item/large-christmas-rose/131.
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 )
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.
