what did you use to paint the fondant.. ..food coloring?

[mimzywhimzy]

@marina8289 yes, there are many different kinds of edible paint you can use - some come as a gel, some come as a powder, some in liquid form, and some u can even use in an airbrush set! For this cake I used gel colors by Wilton.

Beautiful cake. Can you paint on buttercream icing also just like fondant? I have never done fondant. What did you roll the whiskers in?

[mimzywhimzy]

@bmorris1966 I've never tried painting on buttercream, i'd ask SeriousCakes about that, she's the buttercream queen here on youtube. As for the whiskers, they are fabric wrapped floral wire - you buy it in craft stores and it comes just as you see it.
