Words to take to your supplier

Painted color on an uncluttered cake
Loose blue marks and a few ochre accents read like a composition across a smooth two-tier cake.

What I want to borrow: A painted finish translates color into the cake without adding height, flowers or a topper. It suits a graphic paper suite and a restrained table setting.
Adaptation to discuss: Bring palette references, then let your baker choose an appropriate edible painting method. Request a sketch showing where color stops so the cake still has quiet space.

Questions for our supplier:
• Can the baker demonstrate this technique on their own work?
• Which ingredients or edible colors will be used?
• Will the finish look as intended under the room lighting?

Scope to confirm: Painted color on an uncluttered cake with an approved color placement.
Responsible people: Baker and venue service lead; name who accepts, stores, cuts and serves it.
Before confirming: Approve a color proof and clarify whether every visible surface is edible and how the finish is handled.
Working example (replace with actuals): Write the agreed portion total and service sequence beside the final design; the baker confirms portions, storage and delivery requirements.
