This is a 2 tier 10" square- 8" round cake covered in MMF. The bottom tier has a diamond pattern on it, to make that I took my bench scraper held it on an angle and lightly marked the lines then I too my wilton embossing cutter thingy and marked over the lines previously marked with the bench scraper. Then I air brushed the cakes. The happy birthday plaque is hand painted fondant and the stars. curly Qs, and 4 are also fondant. The dots are just white icing. TYFL Mark Mexicano
