This is absolutely adorable. Are the animals filled with small bc stars? Or is that sugar? How do you get your bc so nice and black? Thanks!

I tint piping gel black, it is practically impossible to get bc that dark. I filled in the elephants with tip #13. And my secret to the writing...I go on Microsoft word and print out (using curlz font) what I want to write on the cake. Then I trace the letters with black marker so I can flip the paper over and see the backwards letters through. I then place wax paper over the paper (backwards letters showing) and trace with black piping gel all of the letters. Then, take the wax paper and flip it over

lightly go over all the letters. Carefully pick up the wax paper, and voila! It is on the cake. Then I have to pipe the letters again with black piping gel. Sorry if that was confusing!
