Hello,

I tried posting a couple days ago but the link wasn't working and it won't let me edit my original post so I will post again.

I am hoping to make this cake (http://cakesdecor.com/cakes/121624-monkeying-around) for my sons first birthday and was wondering how to go about doing the bottom tier.  How would I make the fondant look textured like that and how would I achieve the coloring?  Any suggestions  would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
