The color of icing is light brown. After I securely attached roses I painted the frame gold. Then I made it look like antique with brush and black color . I also leaned how to do it on Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge Vintage 25. And my entry is here and this one.
I made the glass of mirror with royal icing transfer, to show the reflections I added white lines.
After it completely dried, I turned it over then added some lines and dots to show the face.
I learned this from Made by Manu: 3-D Spooky Royal Icing Hut. Her hut is amazing! very pretty. While I was adding royal icing to the back of mirror, I was wondering whether I could control the darkness by changing the thickness of icing. Using the light of my phone to see how it looked like, I added more icing to the place where I wanted darker shade. But as you see, they are not that clear when I put the light back side of the mirror, probably because of the brightness of the light or the thickness of icing…, I have not figured it out.

Ooh, I love the effect! The face is definitely recognizable, and I think the fact that it's not perfectly shaped makes it all the more spooky. Thanks for the mini tutorial in your comments and for trying out @Manu biscotti decorati's latest tutorial in your unique way. I always love to see others' takes on the site's tutorials!

I am still wondering how the thickness of icing will make the darkness of shades. However at the end, this is Halloween, if the eybrows look like eyes or bats it really does not matter since looking into mirrors at night is inviting but scary at the same time. Right? What I can say definetly is @Manu biscotti decorati tutorial so brilliant that many people want to try.
This is amazing @Ryoko ~Cookie Ave.! I agree with Julia, The blurry face makes it spooky and even more fascinating!
Hi @Manu biscotti decorati. Thank you for the tutorial, it was really fun to make the icing part and to know the light effect. I flooded to make the mirror part and the royal icing was not tooth-paste consistency. I wonder if the consistency is thin for flood, do they shrink a bit while it dries?

I haven’t experienced any shrinking of transfers based on initial icing consistency. I most often use my stenciling-consistency for stenciled ones, naturally (i.e., fence in my recent Graveyard Fence tutorial; trellis in clematis project; etc,), and thick flooding-consistency for contoured ones or ones were I want the shape to hold well. The primary difference is that the looser consistencies just take longer to dry.
