Hello....The tink one was from the Wilton book...however, a little smaller, and I used a wooden dowell for the post, which my husband made, and was screwed into the bottom wood board...The tree I did a half a styofoam ball, as they didn't need that much cake... The bottom is a 11 inch round....covered in MMF, and Royal icing flowers (that I had left over from a wedding cake...LOVE THAT!)...and about 2 days before I made the leaves for the tree, it was alot easier then I thought it would be....ONly took like 1.5 hours or maybe 2 hours...not bad! Thanks so much for looking NIcole
