All Of The Prettiest Hand Painted Cakes: Part 2

Hand painted cakes are one of the most admired cake design trends of the moment and painting on cakes is one of the most versatile skills a cake decorator can acquire to add to their repetoire of techniques. Drawing and painting doesn’t come naturally to us all, but with a bit of practice there are lots of floral designs that one can easily master to create beautiful vintage style cakes.

For those new to cake painting, check out our earlier feature here on Hand Painted Cakes for tips and tutorials to help you get started.

Our feature cake above, a stunning hand-painted wedding cake in vintage duck egg blue, is by Emily Harmston Cakes. Emily has created a multi-dimensional effect on this cake by hand painting the branches, to which she then added painted floral appliques.

Incidentally, this is a great tip for those who are new to hand-painting cakes – if you are reluctant to paint directly onto your immaculately iced cake, use cutters to make floral shapes, then paint the details onto the cut-outs and attach to your cake.
