Wow,deadlypeanutboy, your wife really loooooves you!!! It's quite time consuming to use pastry bags to pipe on the icing using the techniques she employed here. My mom used to make us strawberry shortcake shaped cakes that she decorated by piping the icing on using different tips/bags colors etc. and it would take her a few hours. Give your lady some appreciation on her efforts here which imo take more effort then that Jack cake, which is quite amazing within it's own art form of using fondant .
