This was a birthday cake for my daughter's second birthday. The icing is Wilton's Whipped Icing (the dry mix you add water to). Everyone went nuts for the icing. It is not too sweet and very fluffy- the perfect alternative to buttercreme. The little people decorations (Sonya Lee and Freddie/Eddie) are colorflow. I was afraid of breakage, so I used an exacto-knife to cut out the characters and left them on the waxed paper. They were easy to peel off and the color did not bleed onto the cake. The drawings were off of the Little People website- birthday party placemats.
