Super fun cake to do! For the zebra stripes I simply laid out little strips of balck & white fondant,then rolled them with a light touch to get them to stay together. All the curly Q's sticking out are made by wrapping strips of gum paste around pencils until they are dry.The lip stick, nail polish and little purse are all just fondant (dried for several days) I couldn't resist the marabou boa feathers around the base of the cake. The "8" is gum paste and non-edible rhinestones stuck on.
