Try to create the smoothest and thinnest layer of icing you can. Also ice the side of the cake. Leave the cake in the refrigerator for about 30 min. (Also remember to put the icing in the refrigerator while you wait or it will get too soft)

Make a second layer of icing on top and on the side of the cake. With a toothpick you can make a sketch on the icing of what you have in mind to design. Color the second 1/3 of the icing pink and the last one yellow. Put the icing inside a decorating bag. We use a round tip for the yellow icing and a star tip for the pink icing.
