Top tips:
Ice cake tier as normal and then chill it in the freezer (20 min) or fridge (30 min) before using the stripes comb (when using the easy meringue recipe that I did)
heat comb in hot water (and wipe clean) to do a final round of combing
put cake back into freezer (30 min) or fridge (45 min - 1 hour) before adding stripes color
just...keep...combing...until it starts to look like it should. Don't give up too early!

I built a 6" tier on top of an 8" tier for this cake, with both tiers being about 5.25" tall each.
