How to Decorate a Brushstroke Cake
Decoration
Brushstroke cakes are really on trend right now and we have created a step by step photo guide on how to recreate this style for your next celebration cake.
Method
Step 1
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. You can dot a small amount of melted chocolate in each corner to help the paper stay in place.
Step 2
Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt.
Step 3
Spoon a circle of the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper then using a clean paintbrush (that has only been used for food or is brand new) drag the chocolate to the length that you want.
Step 4
Repeat the process and place the chocolate in the fridge to chill.
Step 5
Once the cake has been decorated with buttercream, remove your chocolate brushstroke decorations from the fridge. Using a clean paintbrush gently brush gold lustre on to some of the chocolate decorations.
Step 6
Carefully peel the decorations from the parchment paper and stick to the cake in a random pattern. Serve immediately as the decorations may begin to melt.
