I made this for a former teacher who has just gotten engaged. She almost in tears when I delivered it. The MMF went on with out a problem. The calla lillies look a little funny since I only let them dry for 4 hours, so they kind of "wilted" on me. DS placed the pearls, and used them all up. 4 hours worth of pearls!!! Arrgggg. Anyways, when all was said and done the cake took 5 hours, including the baking of a second top tier (since the first one crumbled!)
