How do I make my frosting look like straw?
Has anyone made a cake that resembles a straw bale?

I did a hay bale wedding cake and from the ingenious suggestion from Rima, to use a hair pic and run it back and forth in  the butter cream.  I filled my bag with several different shades of "straw", and then ran the pic through it.  I did one side at a time so it would not start crusting before I could pic it. It worked like a dream.  I also got super skinny blue and yellow (wedding colors) licorice and twisted them to use as the hay bale ties. 

The pic in the buttercream idea came from Gayl Colding. My continued encouragement comes from

Linda Wolff, they both rock! The floorboard and bandanas are fondant.  Most of the flowers are gum paste. This cake served 232.
