Cake Assembly and Decoration:
- Colour Icing-Divide icing into four different bowls. Tint each bowl of icing by dipping a toothpick into the rose icing colour then dip into the icing. Create four different shades of rose. (You will need more of the lightest shade of rose for icing and decorating.) Torte, stack and fill for a four 1 in. layer, 5 in. high cake.
- Ice Cake-Use spatula and lightest rose icing to ice cake smooth.
- Decorate Cake-Use tip 2D, cut disposable decorating bag and fill icing bag with dark rose icing to pipe two rows of stars at bottom of cake. Continue piping star rows using tip 2D and tinted icing from the next darkest through lightest rose icing, bringing the last color over to cover the cake top.
