Hi! It is regular buttercream icing that I thinned down with a tiny bit of water -- just enough so that it leveled itself off after I piped it onto the cake.
Before I did that, though, I piped the black outlines with a stiffer icing and let it set up in the fridge. That gave me a good "fence" to hold in the thinner icing until it could set up in the fridge. :-) Happy decorating!
Hey! That is actually *not* sprinkles... it's even easier (as I hate trying to get the sprinkles onto the sides of cake LOL!). It's just a million stars using one of my star tips. :-)
Thanks for stopping by! (I need to update this blog! Goodness!!!)
Brady, the Birthday Boy turning 6 on Christmas Eve, wanted a Batman cake!
What type of icing did you use to fill in the batman image? It looks very smooth.

The cake looks great. What kind of sprinkle did you put on the side? Thinking of making one for my son's birthday.
