Hi CWB people...
I hope you are having a good Easter long weekend. I needed some help with some items that I can't figure out how to do. I'm hoping for some ideas from everyone :D

How to do buttercream:
1. Wheat grass -- this would be on the sides of the cake (like the bottom of this cake)

Suggestions:
1. ruffle the edges like you would for a carnation - just a little more ..
2. do a leaf as for a lily of the valley - removing pieces to get the dandelion shape
3. use thinned/melted fondant to get the "smeary" look on the cake surface-use a Wilton tip #233/royal icing to pipe grass in front as a border ...
Wow
What a challenge Mizztry!!! Must be a vegan/organic or vegetarian customer. My daughter lives on this stuff. Especially kale!!! I put kale in my smoothies...... per my daughter's orders.
Ok. suziq auzzi's suggestion for the the kale is a great idea. The wheat grass..... I would roll out either just fondant or fondant/gumpaste combo very thin. Do 2 shades of green, one light, one dark. Take a sharp knife or exacto knife & cut strips of grass. Let it dry a little & join them together, a couple of dark with light & so on. You can bend them to look more authentic.
The dandelion leaf, I would put a pic in front of me, lay paper over top and trace for a template. Then transfer that onto cardboard. Then use that cardboard template to cut out your leaves on gumpaste. You will have to use a very sharp knife with a sharp tip, again, like a exacto, to get nice clean edges.
Hope this helps. :o)
for the wheatgrass can you paint it on using a small paint brush and green food coloring gel? mix with some white and a little vodka. hope this helps.
I agree with Faith if you are wanting the same look as on the cake picture. It looks like it is painted on the sides using a water color effect. Using the vodka with the americolor gels would work great.
The dandelion leaves... you could pick a leaf... make a template out of the plastic template stuff that you can get in the quilting section and cut them out with an exacto knife.
