For this I had used a card board template and covered it in newspaper, this it took me about 2 days. After completing the template, I had painted the whole cake in 3 coats of white acrylic paint to get rid of the newspaper print. Then final I add the pink and brown paint this took me about 3 days to complete as I also had to wait for the paint to dry. Then I had gone into town to get more white ribbon to finish the cake, I had put the ribbon on each layer of cake this took me about 30 mins to do.
