I have to make a diva cake for a 10 year. It is to be in the shape of the letter R. That is all they specified. I am thinking that I will do it cheetah print with hot pink and black trim. Anyone have any other ideas to make it more divalicious??

I thought that I would paint the animal print onto buttercream icing. I am so nervous about this. I have never done this before. Anyone have any tips?

Thanks in advance!

I have been told that you mix the food coloring with alcohol like vodka and then paint with a paint brush. Regarding enhancing the diva look...I just typed in Diva logos on the internet images and saw various patterns and colors. You might be able to get inspiration that way. Good luck!

Where are internet images? Do you mean use Google for the images or is there another way? Thanks for the reply.
