I don't have the link, but she said it is a regular foam paint roller, think she said she got a 6" one. I haven't gotten to try it yet, but it worked great on this cake.

Try putting "foam roller" or something along that line in a search, it might come up for you. Janice

Too cute!

Melvira was the one who posted the tip about the foam paint roller.

Isn't it the greatest thing EVER!??! I swear I could not smooth buttercream to save my life before I tried the roller. I feel like I should be in debt to her somehow now LOL!

lol...the red was something else....i used 1 and 1/2 1 oz tubs of wilton red gel...a little dab of orange and coco powder...when i added the coco i would add a little bit and then wait a few mins before i added more so that i wouldnt get too much..then added a little dab of orange at the end....i had a rough time with that red until feefs came to my rescue last night.
