I don't know how I'm supposed to make the lion like the one that's on this cake, in terms of its hair. I'm using fondant to make it.

Also, should I paint on the details or use the foodwriters markers by Wilton?

It looks like fondant rolled into little tapered cones shapes, let dry, then attach!

Thanks. thumbs_up.gif Do you happen to distinguish whether the stripes for the animals were drawn in with markers or painted, or fondant?

And how they mixed the icing to look like a water fall?

for the waterfall you could either just use colored icing and ripple it or you can use white or blue icing and then color piping gel blue and put on top to give it that water texture look. Thats what I did in the 50th birthday cake in my photos...hope that helps

To me, the lines look like very small pieces of black fondant pressed flat onto the bodies. Foodwrites or painting would work, but foodwriters would probably be easier than painting them. The water looks like thinned icing just put on roughly.

I think that for the hair, you could roll out a strip of fondant and cut slashes in it. Then wrap it around the lion's head. You might have to prop it up with tissue until it drys though. For the spots, it likes like maybe they used the narrow end of a decorating tip. I think that you'd probably need to put them on with sterialized (sp?) tweezers.
