      I'm a cake decorator, so this is interesting… I would have never thought of the saran wrap technique…. not sure if I have the time to do that, though it would help because I'm super messy 😀

      Frosting anything is not one of my talents. Are you sure I can’t convince you to fly to PA and do it for me?
