We’re so excited to welcome Robin Martin of Gateaux Inc<\/strong>. back to the blog today!\u00a0 We know that when Robin stops by, she’s bringing us something new and innovative!\u00a0 And today is no exception.\u00a0 Not only does Robin create gorgeous cakes as the owner of Gateaux Inc., but she is the mastermind behind an entire line of\u00a0cake stencils<\/a><\/strong> which are nothing less than brilliant and appropriately branded as the\u00a0the Evil Cake Genius<\/strong> line.\u00a0 Over the last year, we’ve learned how to make gorgeous lace<\/a> using a stencil and how to make amazing fondant butterflies<\/a> with realistic (and yes, stenciled) details, thanks to Robin’s techniques.\u00a0 And today’s cake is a whole new world of fun!\u00a0 A skillfully hand-painted cake that is downright gorgeous and actually do-able.\u00a0 Even for those of us who are not natural painters (if you could see me, I’m raising my hand…. how about you?). \u00a0If you love the idea of a painted cake but are intimated by the actual ‘hand-painting’ aspect, then today’s post is definitely for you!\u00a0 So let’s do a little swooning and then take an inside look at the creation of this amazing cake.\u00a0 We’re learning how to make a Stencil-Painted Rose Cake<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Robin Martin of Gateaux Inc. gives us the scoop on her technique:<\/strong><\/p>\n “We searched high and low to come up with the perfect floral pattern, and ended up creating this one based on several vintage fabric patterns.\u00a0 We also contacted our friends over at Mon Cottage Cupcakes for some tips on hand-painting because their hand-painted roses are little works of art.\u00a0 We were thrilled to see that they had a tutorial for sale, and used that as a basis for our hand-painting experimentation.\u00a0 Unfortunately for us, our friend Nina, over at Mon Cottage, is talented enough to free-hand her floral patterns onto her cakes, so we had to come up with another option (the Evil Cake Genius doesn’t free-hand anything…not that talented, friends!)\u00a0 So we traced the outline of our floral pattern, and created a Mesh Stencil<\/a><\/strong>.”<\/p>\n More from Robin Martin of Gateaux Inc.<\/a> about her technique:<\/strong><\/p>\n “The stencil<\/a> was then used to transfer the floral pattern to the side of the cake tier using a mixture of Petal Dust powdered color and, of all things, cooking oil!\u00a0 We experimented with all sorts of edible painting media before deciding that this was the edible “paint” that allowed us to blend the outline of the stenciled pattern perfectly back into the hand-painting.\u00a0\u00a0 It also allows for beautiful blending of colors because the oil keeps the paint from drying out for quite awhile.\u00a0 The combination of a perfectly stenciled outline and the slow-drying edible paint, made decorating this cake truly one of the most enjoyable decorating experiences the Evil Cake Genius has ever had.\u00a0 I had flashbacks to the old “Paint by Numbers” kits that I used to do when I was a kid.<\/p>\n For that reason, we decided to add the Classic Rose Outline Mesh Stencil<\/a> in two sizes to our Evil Cake Genius site<\/a>.\u00a0 The stencil comes with a photo tutorial for stenciling, and a step by step tip sheet for painting the cake.\u00a0 We even added a set of petal dusts<\/a> to the site that will give decorators the exact colors we used on the painting.”<\/p>\n A few last thoughts from Robin Martin of Gateaux Inc.:<\/strong><\/p>\n “As a general rule, I never reproduce a wedding cake design.\u00a0 Part of this is out of principle…each wedding cake should be unique to the couple for which it was created.\u00a0 Part of this is selfishness… once I’ve created a wedding cake, I want to move on to something different…I hate having to do the same thing over again.\u00a0 This cake is the only exception to this rule.\u00a0 I’ve found myself in active pursuit of a client who will let me\u00a0 paint on their cake.\u00a0 The process is so incredibly enjoyable.\u00a0\u00a0 If you’ve never tried it, you’re missing out!!”<\/p>\n VENDORS & CREDITS<\/strong> <\/p>\n YOU MAY ALSO ENJOY<\/strong> We’re so excited to welcome Robin Martin of Gateaux Inc. back to the blog today!
