I used a thin brush and airbrush color...straight...no dilution. Changed up the brush thickness for the details on the coordinating cookies. A wide brush, snipped and thinned a bit worked well for those areas with more 'shading'.

kendra_83, that is a gorgeous cake!

I know exactly how you feel! I had pricing on my site, separate tab as well as links to it on every other page in bold, highlighted type. There was no guessing to do...at all! Every size and shape was priced. Single tier celebration...

DH and I compromised. When he worked, I had the kids/house and everything that goes with it...cooking, cleaning. When I worked, he had the kids...they had the house...everything else was left to me. May not seem even to an onlooker...

I also use 4" for top tiers quite often. As long as the topper, if there is one, fits I'd use it. If more servings are needed than the cake will serve, kitchen cakes would come in handy there.I have several in my photos with 4" top...
