Okay, there were some lessons learned with this one.
1. Butter quality!!! Don't buy Wal Mart's Great Value brand, anything else is better. Bland butter makes for a bland cake.
2. Just buy the right color dye. The buttercream used for the designs turned out a pretty denim color, but I was aiming for dark purple. Next time I'll just go out and buy the right color (from Americolor, much better than Wilton).
Here are the pictures! I love how it turned out and I love learning new things with every cake.
