Brush Embroidery

Brush embroidery is a beautiful decorating technique used mostly on wedding cakes. I wanted to try it out, and I happened to have a neighbor who was feeling miserable on bedrest with her 3rd pregnancy, so I made her a cake and tried out the technique.  My photography skills are seriously lacking, and I took the picture with my ipad, so the colors look much darker than they actually were.  I was very pleased with the result.  The flavor was simple but delicious white cake with vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream.
