Painted Faux Cakes

I’ve finally finished making my faux cakes.

To paint the cakes, I used some old white acrylic paint.

The paint was a bit thick, so I added a little water to the bottle and shook it up a bit.

How to Directions

I put a little white acrylic paint on wax paper and added a few more drops of water to it.

I then stirred the paint with my brush but with the paint being thick made it actually look more like real icing.

I like to mix paint on wax paper since there is no clean up at the end, just toss it in the trash.

The cakes each needed about two to three coats of white acrylic paint.  I allowed the paint to dry well between each coating of paint.

There are a lot of nooks and crannies in the faux cakes.  I use a small stiff bristle painting brush to get paint into every area.

The grayer part of the top of the cake has not been painted.

Be sure to also paint the cardboard rim around the bottom of the cake.

Additional Display Note

The above photographs shows another view of the faux white cakes.

One cake is displayed on a yellow Williams-Sonoma cake stand.  The other cade is on a clear cake stand which was purchased in a second hand store.

The multicolored tablecloth was purchased secondhand in a thrift store.  The lemons and lime are faux impostors also purchased second hand.

The second photograph shows my Gorham Silver Plated Pastry Server which I use for every special cake I serve.  It was given to me as a wedding gift and I actually used it to serve my wedding cake.

I hope you enjoyed my blogs in crafting these two museum display faux cakes.
