Hi, am new to this site and to the whole cake decorating business. I am making a cake that is to be a paint can.. I have that figured out. However, I am stumped as to the paint brush...Am looking for a mold but no luck yet. Any suggestions as to how I can make the paint brush? Would gladly appreciate any help I can get.
You could form it out of fondant or a fondant/gumpaste mix fairly easily. For the bristles, just "scratch" the fondant (before it hardens) to look like a brush. If it's large, you could start with a Rice Krispie treat base and then cover it with fondant. Good luck!
I used fondant/gumpaste mix to make the handle, then used the extruder to make the paintbrush bristles. The attachment with many little holes in it. Hope that helps!
