I've been struggling with icing all day. See my whiney post in "How Do I?". icon_biggrin.gif

Anyway, it's done. It's really really busy so I could cover all the crumbs and imperfections.

I used mostly Americolor Electric Pink and I added a little bit of Super Red to it. I bought an assortment of pinks from here and they worked really well making pink, though my kitchen did look like a bottle of Pepto Bismal exploded!!

THanks everyone! It's fun now that it's DONE! It wasn't such a fun day. Yesterday was fun though, playing hookey to do the fondant figurines.

I used MMF mixed with the gumpaste for the figurines. Actually, I used leftovers from the cake I made in March. It revived quite nicely and I didnt' have to make new colors, except the pink!

WOW! Great job on that cake! Imperfections???? Where???? I just LOVE the letters. Did you hand mold those too? Or did you use a cutter. Those really pop out at you. Awesome job!

The letters were handmade. I basically made them using little "snakes" of fondant and then put dots on them. I used toothpicks inserted halfway in so that they would stand up on the edge.

Love the cake. When I was little my brother nicknamed me flamingo legs. I was this tall very skinny little girl with nobie knees. The nickname is still a family joke 28 years later. I have to show my brother this cake. Awsome job thumbs_up.gif
