Prepare icing. Level, fill and stack 6 in. layers on cake circle for a 3-layer cake, 6 in. high. Use spatula and icing to ice cake smooth.
Make fondant tufts. Tint 24 oz. each of white fondant following color formulas above. Use fondant roller with pink guide rings to roll out colors, separately, 1/16 in. thick. Use straight side of round cut-out "C" to cut six shapes in each color. Fold fondant circles in half and then in quarters. Pinch bottom of fondant to make each tuft.
Attach tufts. Use white decorator icing and a cut disposable decorating bag to attach tufts to cake in a diagonal line, alternating colors and tapering at top and bottom edges of cake.
