I am wanting to make a cake like this one 

(not mine) but was thinking about changing the look by adding a sunrise.  Can anyone give me suggestions on how to do that without spray paint. I have never made anything with that affect before. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Cindy E. 

sure  -- color your icing -- put some in piping bags  -- ice the two halves of the cake top -- and sides if you want -- two different sunrise colors -- right away -- get your piping bags of the other colors you want to incorporate and just pipe them across there -- then flatten it all down using a bent metal spatula to scrape/smooth it all out from side to side -- 

less is more here -- don't over do it -- check out some sunrise pictures --

post a picture here when you're finished if you can/want to --

best to you

Thanks for the suggestion, sounds like something I can do.  

cool, cindy -- it absolutely is something you can do -- i am glad the idea translated over the words -- it's fun to do -- ain't no wrong way -- would love to see your work if you get a chance to post it :)

practice on the counter top to get the hang of it -- way too much fun
