To make these out of cake to look like a real hot dog... use white cake for the bun, would turn golden around the edges just like a "real" hot dog bun. Roll rust colored fondant into weiners, paint with black or dark brown piping gel for the "grill marks." Raspberry curd for ketchup, lemon curd for mustard and minced green candied cherries in green piping gel for relish. ... I have a number of 8 year old boys in my life, they love when I make food look like something else entirely... WOW, Colleen - never would have thought of anything like this. You and MaryJane (KA's "fancy baker") are a great pair! Thanks for sharing - PJH
