Substitution
Can't find black shoestring licorice? Use black decorating gel instead; it can often be found near the cake and frosting items in your grocery store.
Success
No need to scratch and claw over frosting. Freeze cut cake pieces uncovered for about 1 hour and you will purr right through frosting.
