re: Firefighter Wedding

Hello Janice, this cake is awesome! I’ve been asked by my husband’s co-worker to replicate it for someone who is retiring from our fire department. First off, do you mind? Secondly, do you have any tips or tricks to pass along? Did you airbrush or use petal dust to get the look on the hose? They asked me to do the helmet as a cake, but I think I’m going to suggest the rice crispy treats. Much easier for me to shape. Did you also use rice crispy treats for the nozzle? Thanks for any help you can provide.
