In reply to Shreeya. Hi Shreeya! In my experience with splatter painting a vodka/luster dust mixture it has never run or bled. I would test it on a small part of the cake first though just to be sure. The sprinkles should be totally fine in the refrigerator as well (that's how I store all my cakes!) I recommend taking the cake out of the refrigerator 1-2 hours before serving. Hope that helps!

Hi Whitney!
I am planning to bake a cake with white IMBC, decorated with gold luster dust splattering, and gold & white sprinkles for my mum’s 50th birthday!
Can it be kept overnight in the fridge(not freezer)?
I will be serving it around 24hrs after decorating it. Is there any chance of bleeding considering I will be using vodka to mix in with the luster dust and will the sprinkles be affected?
Also, how early in time can I take it out of the fridge before serving, cause I live in a warm country?
Thank you so much!!!

In reply to Heather. Hi Heather! I've never tried that before but my hunch is that as long as the stencil is really flush with the buttercream it should work. I would search around to see if anyone else has tried it or do a test run if you can.

Hi Whitney,
Do you think the edible art paint could be used on a stencil on chilled buttercream on the side of the cake? I’m concerned that the colour might be uneven or that the paint might drip onto the cake board.

Thanks!

Thanks so much. Looking forward to making an attempt.
Sure it will take many tries before I can achieve something close to yours.
Thank you for responding.

Hi Christine! I’m so happy you’ve decided to start cake decorating! It’s such a fun and challenging hobby 🙂 thanks for the kind words about this cake – it’s been awhile since I made this design so I don’t remember what kind of cake is underneath. Any of my cake recipes here would work great: https://sugarandsparrow.com/category/recipes/cake/ but if you’re looking for a classic vanilla cake to start with here is my fave: https://sugarandsparrow.com/vanilla-cake-recipe/. As for the design, I used a tiny bit of AmeriColor Regal Purple to get that pastel purple color and the piping tips are Wilton 1M (for the rosettes) and 4B (for the stars). These are the sprinkles I used: https://amzn.to/3sDzxN0 and these are the candles: https://amzn.to/3wduLI4 Hope that helps!

Hi Whitney, I am so in awe of this cake. I keep coming back to admire it. I am extremely new to cake decorating.
Can you tell me what food color, decorations and which number tips you used. And what kind of cake is under that beauty.
Any advice you can share with a novice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Kathryn! I’ve never tried mixing Sweet Stick colors together but I’m sure it would work. I saw on the Sweet Sticks FAQ section of their site that you can mix colors: https://sweetsticks.com.au/edible-paint-faq/#:~:text=Yes%20you%20can.,together%20to%20make%20your%20own.
