I am getting ideas for a cake for a Marine Corps Drill Instructor, and thought about doing the "infamous" campaign cover. However, it's made of dark olive drab felt, and wanted to make this cake look as real as possible. I would like to know how I can acheive this look with buttercreme. By the way, if you add milk instead of water, it makes the frosting taste soooo much better. Just an idea for those who haven't tried. Anyway, off the subject... Is there a way to spray frosting (like a textured wall sort of)? Like I said, I'm trying to make it look like felt. If anyone could help, that would be great, thanks...

A paper towel seems to look more like spackle than the "fuzz" of felt. I'm just trying to see if there is a better way. I may go with that if I can't think of anything else. If I frosted the cake, and went over the wet icing with a towel, would that do better, since I'm not putting frosting on, just kinda texturing it? I'm guessing I would have to work with a slightly more than thin icing for this to look better...
