My sister is a big fan of zebra stripes. So for her birthday I made her a zebra striped cake. Now this was before I had any cake decorating supplies so the end result was cute but not to my full satisfaction. I didn't roll the black fondant out thin enough, so the stripes came out a little thick. The bow was a little floppy too. Which is fine but not the look i was going for. I know I'm my own worse critic, but it's how I learn for the next cake.
