Thank You Karen! That pumpkin is adorable! I've been thinking and I was wondering if it would look ago if I just take yellow icing and frost it a little messy [not hard for me!] and then either with my fingers or something round, make different size indents to look like the holes in Swiss cheese. Do you think that'd look good? I am horrible with icing tips, but just straight frosting and "sculpting" might be the way to go. I'm going to go look at Wilton's site. Thank You Very Much!!!
