Could you force a stiff butter cream through a potato ricer, to make spaghetti like strands for the mane!

I just made one a while ago, I used fondant cut into strips for the bridle with circles for the loops and then twisted two colours together for the reins,, hope that makes sense, it came out fantastically. the little girl loved it.

For the mane sorry I used rough strips of fondant in the colour shade I wanted.

Oh Wow!awesome, would love to do something like this.
What fondant brand do you use please!

I use satin ice, but have used pettinice too. for a cake like this the pettinice is fine,, it wasn't that hard really, just shape the cake and add a bulge for the eye and nostril, and then cover in buttercream then fondant, then just decorate using more fondant coloured to the shade for the mane and the bridle. You could do it too. Oh and it was for a friends daughter not mine. but yes they just loved it.

Cake dummy/Cake dummies can be found in cake dacoreting supply stores and some crafts stores like Hobby lobby. Global sugar art.com have them. Some do sell 4 high dummies so then you would only need 1 per tier. If they are only 2 then you need two per tier and glue them together.

Where do I get the diemums from? Hobby lobby? and is diemums the actual name for them? Just want to make sure when I ask for them. and its 2 diemums for each size correct(totalling 4 I would need)? Unless I am able to find the bigger size, then only 1 is needed for each size (totalling 2 I would need only)
