All Of The Prettiest Hand-Painted Cakes: Part 1

hand-painted cakes by Three Little Blackbirds Cakes Hand-painted cakes are the most talked about design trend in the cake decorating world at the moment. We have two fabulous examples above by one of the leading proponents of the trend, Erin Schaefgen of the Three Little Blackbirds Bakery in the US. Erin teaches a free Craftsy class online on “The Hand-Painted Cake” which you’ll find here: Free Online Cake Decorating Class.

Joining Erin Schaefgen at the pinnacle of hand-painted cake art is the UK’s Natasha Collins of Nevie-Pie Cakes whose cakes are some of the most admired world-wide.  We have two surreally beautiful cakes by Natasha below who also very kindly shares  a tutorial on hand-painting cakes on her blog, Amelie’s House. And if you decide you’d like to take your skills a little bit further, you’ll find a collection of tutorials to purchase from Nevie-Pie Cakes, demonstrating specific painted cake designs.

Mich Turner of the Little Venice Cake Company also has a tutorial on how to hand paint a cake available here on You Tube and artist, Donna Dewbury has a fantastic tutorial showing how to paint a rose step-by-step.

Whether it’s a striking painted cake you wish to create in bold colours or a simple floral motif in pastel shades, hand-painting offers an array of new options for cake decorators.  We have two beautiful vintage floral cakes below  from The Cake Parlour (left) and from Bath Baby Cakes (right).

Our final two hand painted cake examples are just as superb.  The cake below left is by Wow Factor Cakes and blends hand-painted branches with 3D sugar flowers for a terrific multi-dimensional effect.  The cake below right is a beautiful vintage floral example by Sweet & Swanky Cakes.
