I made this for a girl's 9th birthday, who loves New Orleans & pirates, what better than to make Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop?' but I was a bit over-zealous in cutting the first angle - hence the namechange! :) It was my first full fondant and sculpted cake. Each shingle is hand cut, frilled and placed! I entwined the fondants to get a woodgrain for the visible 'structure'. I 'girled' it up w/the addition of the rose vine. :) She LOVED it!
