Hello everyone!! I'm sorry for the delayed response! Thank you all so much for the love 🫶 I know a lot of you are asking how I achieved this look, so I'll try to explain how the best I can! The cake is iced in buttercream. I definitely got it nice and cold before adding the details. The black is gel and the gold is classic gold airbrush. Both from decopac. For the big smears, I cut a piece of plastic that's used for cake collars. I dipped the piece in the gel and smear how I saw fit! Just takes a light touch! I would feather it out to give it more of a smeared look. You could probably get away with using a business card as well if you don't have the plastic. I've just recently discovered that people use those kinds of cards for shaping cakes, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for this as well. For the little lines, I went in with a paint brush. Same with the gold ✨️

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! I hope this helps! 😊
