Fill a pastry bag with some of the remaining frosting. Use a #5 plain piping tip . Beginning at bottom edge of cake, pipe "spaghetti" strands around sides, looping and overlapping all over the bottom area working upward. Using up frosting and refilling bag as needed, continue pipping so strands are densely piped around sides, extend those nearest top slightly higher than top edge of cake, creating a well. - Tomato and Parmesan:
2 jars strawberry preserves-equal to 20 ounces together
