Icing Color Tinted

Use Color Right base colors and QuickCount color formulas to tint icing in the following shade: \t
\t-- Neutral Gray (formula 537): 2 cups icing + 3 BK
Make layered cake. Bake and cool three 8 in. cake layers.

Level, fill and stack cake on same-size cake circle for 3-layer cake, 6 in. high. Use spatula and white icing to ice cake smooth. Use edge of spatula to create swirled texture on cake top.
Make fondant pieces. Use fondant roller and purple guide rings to roll out white fondant 1/8 in. thick on cake board. Spray blue Color Mist on pattern roller and roll over entire fondant surface. For darker areas, spray blue Color Mist onto cake board; roll pattern roller over board, then roll over fondant.

Repeat to add green and pink Color Mist onto fondant surface.

Use straight side of "D" square cut-out to cut 64 fondant squares. Use straight side of "F" square cut-out to cut one corner off of square. Reserve small squares.
Decorate cake. Use brush and piping gel to attach large shapes with cut corner up to make a "v" shape, starting at top edge and working around of cake. Use reserved small squares, cut to fit, to fill in open areas between "v" shapes. Repeat to attach four more rows around cake.

Tint icing gray following color formula above. Use tip 3, disposable decorating bag and gray icing to pipe outlines in white open areas.
