This is the 1st. time I have ever a person out of fondant. This is a topper for a little girls cake, I'll be making soon. EDITED: to say the topper will have a cupcake tree added to it. There were some things I learn in doing this one, that will help when and if I ever have to do another one. Thank You to all who have posted pics. of their fondant work, and thanks for looking. God Bless, Sharon
