I expected it to be hard--which is why I started it so early, so that I'd still have time to run to the grocery store bakery and arrange a cake for him if I needed to!! It just turned out to be so easy and fast! I'm still super shocked I got done so quickly, it just all fell into place.
I was going to cut out spikes individually, but saw the maple leaf cookie cutter in the store, and decided I'd use that! I just cut out fondant leaves and sliced the bottoms off so I was left with the pointy top!! Looked like cool spikes to me in my head; I'm just glad it worked!

I'm all about taking the short way!
