Default newbie trying to decorate a birthday cake

Hi

it's my child's 1st birthay (tomorrow) and i hired one of those fancy
cake tins that looks like a duck (2D not 3D) - cake's fine & most of
the decorating is fine too ... BUT how do you do the beak and the
eyes? (BTW i'm not near anywhere that will have anyting "on the shelf"
cake decorating wise!).

Help

thanks!

even use raw spaghetti to help decorate cakes, it is used to balance 3d =
icing modelling on top of a cake and for cats whiskers, but don't eat =
it!
