This Marilyn Monroe cake was for my sons girl friend sweet 16 party. This is my first time hand painting a cake. I found it was not much different than regular paint, except you can't make a mistake. lol Details - Half sheet cake (choc.), layer of strawberry filling, butter cream/fondant, hand painted with gel, top of cake covered w/ silver shimmer dust, once again I had to use cheap supermarket icing for border because I still do not have proper tools. :(
