How to Make Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Starry Night Cake

For a shoot Bake Happy did recently [you can watch it here :)], I made a cake version of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Starry Night. 

Unfortunately, it did not make the cut. So I thought of doing a proper post for it. Hmmm... let's kick it up a notch shall we? How about I show you how I made it? But let's kick it up a higher notch! If you scroll down below, you can see a video of exactly how the cake came to be. 

Now now... I am not a Van Gogh but I got the idea from Karen Tack and Alan Richardson's Hello Cupcake. It seems to be a very challenging project so In the book, their canvas are cupcakes but this post my canvas is a Lemon Raspberry Cake wtith Lemon Buttrcream Frosting covered in white marshmallow fondant. 

What we need:

Cake covered in fondant

6 grass tips (#133)

1 leaf tip (#66)

1 round tip (#4)

1 open stat tip (#17)

Buttercream in 9 colors (navy blue, electric blue, sky blue, forest green, mint green, electric green, golden yellow, lemon yellow, electric yellow)

Royal Icing

Large Tip (#855)

Here's how:

You can watch it here or you can look it up on Youtube because I can't seem to figure out how to make the video larger in size :)

Once the edible painting is done, using the royal icing and large tip to pipe a border to resemble a frame. 

As an option, you can brush some gold or silver luster dust on the frame to give the cake a authentic frame feel.
Hope you like it!
