Cat, thanks so much!
Once I worked out in my head how much of each shade I needed, it was easy. One little trick I realised was to leave the ruffled strips to dry for just a minute or two before sticking them to the cake so that they don't flop about so much, but obviously while they're still flexible enough to curve.
"I'm dying to try this look..just haven't figured out how to change it a bit and make it "mine" yet."
That's the trouble with all these fads for cakes - they look fun to do but it is hard not to have them all look so samey. I just decided that I wanted to try it, and my friends don't spend all their time checking out cake designs like me, so it'll be new to them!
Hope you have fun with your version :-)
