Hello!! 

So I need to make this tiki mask for a cake that I'm making and was just wondering if anyone had any tips on what medium I should use. I usually use fondant and let it dry ahead of time but I don't know how I could get the shading just right. Maybe with petal dust? Also, I've made bamboo sticks before but I would like to make them as similar to the ones in the picture as far as color and shading. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in advance!!!

Sounds to me like a job for an airbrush but if you don't have one, then the next best thing is petal dusts.

I made my tiki with Rice Krispy Treats covered in modeling chocolate and it is shaded with petal dusts. Same with the bamboo, shaded with petal dusts.

Thanks for the help! Petal dust it is!
