This is my entry into the 2014 NC State Fair. The boots and hat are Styrofoam covered in fondant and airbrushed with pearl dust.The brim is all gum paste. Roses are gum paste dusted with petal dust. Ring and box are 50/50 veil is all gumpaste.Since i posted this picture I went to the fair to see how my cake did. I was very pleased to see that it took first in its class, however i was heartbroken when i saw the back of the brim had fallen down. I have no clue as to why it did. I assume it was not damaged before the judging was done. So i guess the heat in the glass cabinets just got to it. It stayed perfect at home so i'm not sure what happened. All I can say is it's another lesson learned
