I am making the spaghetti cake that was posted a few days ago. I would like to add parsley on top but don't know what to use that would resemble it. Does anyone have any ideas? It came out really cute and was a quick cake to make. So thanks to the gal that was kind enough to share with all us CC'ers.

this may be hard to do, but can you make a block of green chocolate and grate some off on a grater? or can you get green sprinkles?

What's the flavor of the cake? Could you put mint on top?

It's the banana nut cake with the strawberry glaze.

Only if it has gone mouldy then the green would be the perfect colour! LOL!!

Yeah! I'm doing that too with the white chocolate and was wanting to embellish with the green.

Well I'm going up to the grocery and maybe something will come to me. I'll try the white chocolate tinted green maybe.

How about green royal spread thinly on waxed paper, let dry then break up and sprinkle on top?

knowing I'm being totally childish in that "brother out to annoy sister" sort of way but still going to do it anyhow!

(i do not like Royal icing, sam I am, I do not like it with a box, or with sock or.......)

You are too funny Doug! icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif I figured the pieces would be so small they wouldn't have much taste icon_smile.gif Either one would work but I thought (there I go thinking again) icon_eek.gif the royal would hold up better when smashed.

how 'bout dipping some parsley in simple syrup letting it dry and then sprinkle on top. Fresh parsley dosen't really have much of a taste does it? Sugar makes everything better

Well, I tried the bc and it didn't work. They were hard to handle and became too soft to work with. So until another day I'll save the royal icing attempt.
