you can make a part of the body like a foot or an arm!.!.IDK u could also make a head like with a brain!. To make the brain, you could take a bag and fill with icing and then cut a small corner off and squeeze randomly to make it look like a brain!. if your really talented, u could try to make intestines!. Hope that helps!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
are you looking for flavors of cake!? or ideas for ur project!? decorating is the best part!.!.!.!.almost like decorating a gingerbread house!. take a trip to a candy store and think with ur eyes, and see what things can represent!. use licorice strings for lines and borders etc!. just think outside the box and enjoy!!! oh, if you want something with texture and good flavor, try carrot cake!Www@FoodAQ@Com
