OOOPS!!!
thanks for covering my mistake
(see what happens on a saturday after staying up too late and not sleeping enough and pre-morning tea!)
i have always been a bit challenged when it came to a paint brush so i decided to try a different technique for faces.. what i do is draw mine on with non toxic gel pens, i find i can get better lines plus if you stuff it up it wipes off easy so you can start again..
the only thing i suggest is to let your head dry enough so that the pens dont indent the fondant when you start drawing, i also practiced on paper first until i found the style of face i was wanting....
here is my latest figure using the gel pens to draw the face on...

Hmmm I made a shrek cake last weekend and I winged it. This was the first time I made eyes that size. I painted the eyes with gel colors mixed with a bit of vanilla extract.
Here is the link to the cake I did.

Hi Kylie,
Your 21st girl is gorgeous !! where did you get the gel pens from ?

Julie, most newsagents have them, you can buy them either as a set of colors or individually. any shops that sell school supplies should have them aswell...
cheers
