zebra and a lesson in black...

My favorite niece is turning 1!! 
So to celebrate we made a zebra cake with big pink 'P' on it for Paisley.

*tip*
For any of you wanting to work with black fondant, don't!  Kidding!  It is really hard, I cannot get my fondant to be black but I can get it to be grey :)  So I buy it.  I did not realize what I was up against before putting this together and I could not get the fondant black so I ended up painting the stripes, hence the shine.  Which leads me to tip #2, don't paint black and then try to assemble a cake that is white!  Buy the black!..you will thank me later!
