Ooooh, this is the cutest and prettiest ladybug cake I have seen! How did you get it so shiny?? It looks like the shell of an M & M candy! Awesome work!

just take a brush and dip it in the water and brush the bug - I did the red body seprately, then added the dots and only then I brushed the dots too... be careful - it becomes very sticky and if the water runs, the color can "run" :wink:

ACCTUALLY, PERHAPS USING A DAB OF VEGETABLE OIL WOULD BE MUCH BETTER??

Oh, very pretty!!! ;-D
