What if I live in a country where alcoholic drinks are not available. Can I dilute it using sth like alcohol from a pharmacy??

[laurapoopie]

I wouldn't use rubbing alcohol. That will definitely leave the cake tasting horrible. You should be able to get lemon extract or some other type of pure flavor extract at a grocery store. :)

The cake is awesome and so tropical :D I wanted to ask about hand painting. How to use gel colours in hand painting? what kind of liquid shall we use for diluting it?

[laurapoopie]

Thank you so much! You can mix gel colors with any type of liquid that is high alcohol content. I usually stick with Vodka because it totally evaporates and there's no trace left on the fondant. Some people like lemon extract but I don't like the fact that I can still smell the lemon once it's evaporated. :)
