okay, i made my stand up horse cake last night and it turned out pretty well so i covered it up and went to bed. this morning my dh tells me very sweetly and from half way across the room (i think it was fear i saw in his eyes ) that my horse got a "haircut" in the middle of the night ... the back part of his mane fell off!!! actually it's the part that is on the side of the cake and i was alittle afraid of that when i did it last night. i tried not to put it on to thick but maybe i did. this is for a co-worker's daughter and i have tonight and alittle bit tomarrow to fix him, the fix itself won't be hard but how do i keep this from happening again??? any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! thanks in advance.

Is it made from buttercream? Did you use the grass tip to make the mane?

yes it's buttercream and i used a #32 tip for it.
