I think it's AWESOME! I love the heart shaped eyes and your colors are great! And you did a fantastic job smoothing your bc, what method did you use? |

I used a method my instructor taught me.
You just use the cake icer tip and then you smooth the icing with a spatula. You mist your whole cake with water from a spray bottle and the water repels from the icing so it smooths perfectly. Just use your spatula again to smooth and add water as needed. |

Wait . . . you spray the cake with water before icing, or you mist the frosted cake? I'd think that water would make the icing break down. |

No you mist the cake after it's iced silly! 
the water will repel off the iced cake and it will smooth easier with the spatula |

I found the pic on photobucket and i just drew it way bigger than it was. |
