Dragon Fly In Pansies Wedding Cake

My coworker needed a wedding cake for her daughter, unfortunately the reception was a very 'last minute' experience and so she was unable to find anyone to make a wedding cake for her... so some co workers sent her to me... Anyhow... long story longer - she wanted the 'theme' of the cake to be Dragon Fly since her daughter loves them but she wanted fresh pansies - well, pansies WILT FAST so... I ended up making them instead - here's what I came up with for the cake- it is a vanilla cake with cream filling, bc under a layer of mmf.... the pansies are fondant/with tylose (fake gumpaste - I had no choice, I didn't hat the 8 hours for the real stuff to cure) the dragon fly is pulled sugar and the gels are underlayed with homemade gel sheet cut in the shape of the wings (yup, learned that here)... everything was airbrushed from the flowers to the cake to the dragon fly (time was of the essence)... it was fun to make....
