Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Flower Prep
Start by unwrapping all your flowers and gently shaping the petals. Make them look full and lively because these flowers are the stars of your cake!



Step 2: Paint Your Cake & Flowers

Grab your paintbrush and Everclear Alcohol, and paint the cake fondant
and flowers with Peach and Eggplant Petal Dusts using an upward stroke to color half of the cake with Peach and the other half with Eggplant.

Then with the Eggplant color, continue into the Peach section for a few strokes to blend them together to achieve the ombre look. Continue this pattern up both tiers and over the top.





Next it's time to paint the flowers! Head to the video to watch how Chef Maeve mixes colors and flowers together to achieve the look! She offers great tips and techniques on how to paint the flowers with ease.

Step 3: Arrange Like a Pro
Begin placing your flowers on the cake, starting with the bigger ones and

filling in with the smaller ones. Chef Maeve shows you how on the video.

Mix up the colors and shapes to keep it looking natural and beautiful.

Step 4: Final Touches
Take a step back from your cake and see if there are any areas where you'd like to give a little extra color or change the position of the petals. Touch up with any additional paints and let dry.  

You’ve done it! With Chef Maeve’s kit and your creative touch, you’ve
crafted the most beautiful Amethyst Cake, perfect for weddings and
special occasions.
