Watercolor Frog Cake

Watercolor Frog Cake | Lil Miss Cakes

I tried a new technique with this cake and it came out really great! I hand painted the fondant with thinned out gel food coloring. I thinned the food coloring with Everclear which is has a super high alcohol content and evaporates quickly. I wanted this cake to be light and feminine. I used light blues and greens to get the watercolor effect. The tiers needed a border, they were looking a little bare so I added some hand formed marbled gray stones.

Fondant Frog | Lil Miss Cakes

I used a youTube tutorial by the Cake Dutchess to make this super cute tree frog. Not bad for my first try! I’m pretty sure I used fondant, but I also could have used gum paste or a mix of gum paste and fondant. I’m not entirely sure since I made this a while ago-I’m way behind on sharing. Just wanted to share this one quickly, let me know if toy have any questions!
