Grasshopper Cake Complete! Should I Add Anything??
Decorating By Iheartcake Updated 18 Aug 2007 , 2:21am by stacyyarger
Well she's done!! I posted a few days ago asking for help and thanks to Doug, I got it done tonight! The only thing is I really wanted her to have eyelashes. I tried using flower stamens painted black with gel colours however I can't stick them through the fondant/RK head. I then thought about using the Wilton black marker but am nervous it won't turn out cause they're awfully thick. Should I just leave it? I don't want to end up ruining it by adding too much. What do you think??
And for those who missed the last post, it's one of the girls' birthday and we all drink grasshoppers when we get together (creme do cacao, creme de menthe and milk). She also sells Mary Kay so I made a grasshopper holding a MK bag. And the cake is actually Grasshopper cake, made with Creme de Menthe with chocolate icing for a filling.
Really cute and what a great idea to do this with the grasshopper theme.
Great Job!
so cute! It looks great! I love the flavors- what a great idea!
Very cute! 
Do you have the grass tip (#233)? I think it would look add a little something w/ some grass and maybe some simple drop flowers around it. But it's adorable like it is too!
Oooh fake eyelashes.. what a great idea! Definately the look I'm going for. I'm not having much luck with the stames.. too flimsy. Thanks for all the comments and all the help!!
cute grasshopper!
I have made eyelashes for a ladybug by cutting a circle of fondant or chocolate clay then snipping the edges with scissors to achieve eyelashes, (so basically you have an flat circle shape with eyelashes ) then placing those on the face and putting the fondant/clay eye on top of that. not a very good description, i'll try to post a pic to show what i mean.
