Starting with a thrifted vintage mold that I found for a couple of dollars, I sprayed it with white paint.
Once dry I went over it again using an off white color and a sponge brush, just to give it more texture.
I then used Apple Barrel acrylic in Cameo Pink to add a drizzle of color from the top.
The cavity in the top of the mold can be filled with a bit of foam or you can cut a bit of poster board and glue it over the hole. That will give you a nice surface to apply your icing/ topping. Another round of something stronger (cardboard, foam board or even a plate) can be glued to the bottom. I like to use one just a bit bigger than the mold itself so that I have a spot to pipe on the border icing.
I used light weight spackle in an icing bag to pipe on the faux icing, and added fake cherries while it was still wet.
You can see how covering the top of the mold and adding a circular bottom created nice spots to work with. This post has pictures of these steps, so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.
And there you have it, a faux triple layer Bundt!
