NOTES: Alternatives to the chocolate pieces: You could either use our plastics OR figure-pipe the figures of icing. TIPS: When icing a cake a color, ice the entire cake WHITE, then BEFORE the icing dries I add globs of colored icing all around and smooth it on top of the white. This really saves on guessing for large amounts of colored icing. I usually just color the top and leave the sides white. This looks fine. (A wonderful way to quickly and easily make those ‘out-door’ scenery cakes). When you DO have lots of leftover icing, use it either for chocolate (add cocoa, thin it out) or color and use it for black. sheets for baking cookies. (Use even if you don’t grease the c. sheet too)…….
