Using the Purple frosting, pipe a row going from top to bottom of dots onto the side of your crumb coated cake. Try and keep the dots similar in size and in a straight line.
Use the angled spatula to smush the dots.
Hold the spatula horizontally and apply pressure to the first dot.
Press hard enough so that the dot smushes down, but not so hard that it loses its shape.
When you reach the crumb coat, pull the spatula away to the side, smearing the dot across the surface of the cake.
Repeat down the line until all of the dots have been smeared.
Pipe another row of dots using the green frosting so that they overlap the first row of smeared dots.
Repeat the smearing technique with the gold frosting
For the final row, you can leave off at your last smear, or pipe a row of dots and leave them un-smeared.
Repeat steps going in a circular pattern on the top of the cake
Place in the fridge overnight to allow frosting to harden before enjoying!
