Hi,eveyone,, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the easiest or best way to do zebra stripes . It'll be on the middle layer of a 3 tier cake. Any advice would be soooo welcome.. Thanks
Ooo I would love tips on this as well - I'll be doing some zebra stripes for the first time in a couple weeks.
I did mine for the very first time saturday of last week...I did a tinker bell cake...I did alot of research on it before I did it...I airbrushed mine on.
I made the stencil myself with my exacto knife, and a plain white piece of paper. hope this helps.
I know others do it in butter cream, by just tracing it out on the cake witha tiny tip, and then filling it, others by doing a b/c transfer and others with fondant strips...good luck and post it!!!!
its in my photos..did a hanna montana guitar and did the zebra print side ways also.

I just took my pizza cutter and cut random stripes and slapped 'em on my cake (pic in my album). But, I'm a newbie. I'm sure somebody else has a better way. lol

That's the way I did mine!!
I'm glad I saw this thread. I'm doing a zebra striped cake in a few weeks. Thanks FlourPots for that link.
For some reason I couldn't get the pic to show up. (Not sure if it is just my computer or what.) So here is the link just in case.

The girl that won one of the food channel comps used the "cut and stick" method. she rolled her fondant then used piping gel and covered it with sugar sprinkles then cut it into zebra stripes. She also used this method on the baby shower cake challange.
I did mine freehand with a pizza cutter also. It was the first time I did stripes, it was so easy.

On this video tutorial that flourPots posted: http://www.creativecelebrationcakes.co.uk/page49.htm, would it not mess up the fondant that wasn't going to be covered in the stripes to just wet the whole cake down with water? It seemed like she put a lot of water all over that fondant, but i'm pretty new at this, so forgive me if it's a silly question LOL.
