I’m making my own version of this cake for a baby shower but I’m pretty stumped on how to do the bottom. I can’t tell if this is buttercream and piping work or a million tiny fondant cutouts. Could you please help me and share any advice or pointers you may have to recreate this look without hours of tedious work? Thank you in advance! PS I’ve been looking at Russian piping tips and everything else with no luck
