Tartan Cake Design in Buttercream
Hi
I have to do a Tartan Cake Design in buttercream, I have a photo the customer send me but I just dont know where to start with it, Im not sure if this is a mould or all hand done. Is there any way I can send the photo to show what the client is looking for?
Thanks

Hi Ray Foley
I guess you could copy and paste the picture onto this page. Is the design actually made in buttercream or is the cake filled and covered in buttercream and the design is another medium? You could use tartan edible icing sheets like this:

If it is to be done in buttercream, search on youtube ‘tartan design on buttercream’ to see some tutorials.
Please let me know if this has helpsed or if you need futher information. 🙂
Hi Ray Foley
I was unable to link this to you yesterday : https://www.cake-stuff.com/equipment-c7/impression-veining-mats-veiners-c59/autumn-carpenter-fabric-icing-texture-sheet-impression-mat-6-pc-set-p6859
nor could I link you to the youtube tutorials. My home internet failed and sadly it affected my phone too.
This is the set which includes the tartan/plaid impression mat. Hope you’re sorted out now.
Hi. I found the class online that Erica O’Brien does where she shows you how to design this cake using combs…I am going to give this a go!!!!….thanks for all the feedback.
