I would properly just roll out the yarn strings by hand :-) I don't think that this would take much more longer. If I did not have a sugar craft gun.

If you use a good pound cake and buttercream and keep the cake in a cool place it should be OK. Just make sure that the ingredients will not expire before after the cake have been eaten.

You are very talented! I have one little question about painting the cake. What does the alcohol do? Can we paint the cake just with the food color and not use the alcohol? Or is there anything else that we can use instead of alcohol? (Extracts have alcohol in them too so I am looking for a substitution that does not have any alcohol in it). Thank you.

Lauri: pls see my reply for Sandy R in this comment. Anja. im sure that you can can do it :-) bonita: I use a clear vodka, It is safe to eat because when you mix/paint the alcohol will evaporate so you cant taste the alcohol. You could also use lemon extract. Aurelie Martins: well you could try look for a clay gun instead they are a bit cheaper and is ok to use. I dont think that you would get a good result with the machanical pasty bag. Jacqui: I use powder and or gels. Sandy R: you can use either of it.
