I tried to whip it to the thickest consistency as possible. I also put it in the fridge between decorating phases. And as for technique - I put the nuts on by hand in small sections, same with the shredded coconut. I would pinch it in between my fingers and then place it on the frosting. <br /><br />This little gadget helped too! {a cake decorating turntable} http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Trim-Turn-Plus-Turntable/dp/B0012Q5QIM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376519408&sr=8-2&keywords=wilton+turntable <br /><br />Would LOVE to hear how yours turns out! I hope my tips were helpful. :) Thanks for stopping by PPS! -DanyaDanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444885947820159460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408252726854390451.post-45965436994473229932013-08-14T17:23:15.487-05:002013-08-14T17:23:15.487-05:00How did you get the sides frosted well and the alm...How did you get the sides frosted well and the almonds on it without it looking like a wreck? My girls love watermelon and we are celebrating our youngests birthday on Sunday. This would be perfect. But I'm afraid of trying to put the nuts on the side, that will look like a mess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
