I would like to recreate one of your cakes for Sat.. I have been trying to figure how to do the green and the water without messing up either. Was the whole thing was iced in white and the green was airbrushed and the water was filled in? I'm planning to use piping gel, colored blue, for the water. If I have to order a green spray I gotta do it NOW to get it here by Friday because I don't have an airbrush. Also, any tips for transporting this stacked? I won't be able to do it at the party. AND, last ???, can I refrigerate it with the spray color on it? Will it run?
Anyway here's the link:

Any help or tips for doing this is most truly appreciated. It's really important that it turns out well. It's the first decorated cake a friend has ordered from me. Can ya' tell I'm nervous?
Thanks a bunch!!
I can't see anything that looks like it was airbrushed... I would ice the entire cake white and let it set up and then pipe the water on the side, put the piping gel in for the water and then put the chicklets on top for the tile. I remember seeing this in Women's Day!! 
I've made this cake twice using the Woman's Day instructions. There is no air brushing involved unless you want to add something extra!
Is there anything I can help you with?
I used blue Jello for the water. It's not as difficult as you'd think and Jello and cake actually taste pretty good together--kids especially like it.
However, blue piping gel is fine, too!
lennette are talking about the dora cake? the picture that comes up in the linkis not by boween....just checking
Ah, I found the picture your referring to... Personally I would just ice the cake with green icing and then apply the blue icing for the waterfall.. When you airbrush a cake it's really easy to pull off the color by just touching it. I would be concerned about the green color coming off while trying to put the blue icing on the cake. It doesn't look like she airbrushed the green on, but I could be wrong.
ok Im looking at it and to me it apprears that the cake is buttercream that is tinted before place on the cake....if thats not how she did it I dont see why doing it this way wouldnt work....I wouldnt go out of your way to buy something if there is a resonable alternate solution.
If it were me I would first ice the cake green.... then stack it.... make sure that you place ample support..... then go back and add the waterfall.....
you will have to transport stacked...since it is only a two teir cake it sgould be ok ...I have transported several cakes that were this height and they were ok ....
just make sure when you travel that there is a non slip mat under the cake board that is in the box and on the floor of the car ... you can never be to safe..... (like the kind that you use to line the kitchen cabinets...)
hope this helps..........
i forgot... I read in another thread that the piping gel makes the icing taste awful.....so check the flavor before addding....
the picture doesnt look like piping gel mixed...it just looks like blue coloring
