Question : Does anyone have any tips for decorating the Williams Sonoma Santa Mold Cake?
Here's a link to the product, in case you're not familiar with it: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/sku9523838/index.cfm?pkey=cbkwsptiI've watched the video on that link and got some ideas, but I was wondering if there are any cake makers/decorators that have any additional tips for me.

All Answers: Answer #1Are you going to be decorating it with Fondant or BC or something else?....Fondant would give youthe smooth frosting look, verses theButtercream...unless you let it crust and then tryto smooth it out VERY carefully.....which In myopinion would be hard to do....otherwise you cando the "star tip" decorating...were you basicallyfrost the cake using the star tip, you just colorhim with "stars" from the star tip...kinda hard toexplain...that would be an easy alternative toFondant or trying to smooth out the BC...Not surehow familiar you are with cake decorating.....orshould i say...more with trying to get REDfrosting....its a pain the behind.... ;-|So if youare not familiar with coloring frosting red...Iwould color it brown first and then try to colorit red...and as for the black...since there isn'tTOO much black frosting that will be needed Iwould suggest just buying the Wilton pre-madestuff(if you are using Buttercream)....otherwise,i found a trick that has always worked forme....to get black color the frosting green, andthen add the black coloring....works 95% of thetime...In the photo the Santa looks kindaglittery....are you going for the same look?....Ifso I suggest getting the cake sparkles or (ifusing Fondant) finding a glittery Luster Dustcolor to paint onto the Fondant.Hopefully youaren't going to travel with this cake...This wouldbe a nervous wreck for me...I would be concernedit would tip over...If you are looking for moretips or got questions...I would suggest checkingout cakecentral.comIts a great site that is fullof cake decorators that are willing to answerquestions...you have to sign up to ask questionsin the forums and see members photos...BUT itsfree and only takes a bit...
