Fall Harvest Pumpkin Bouquet

Thanks to sue_dye for the inspiration for this one. I entered this into our local fair today. Three 8 inch layers with shaved 6 inch layer as lid. Royal flowers, indian corn and cattails. MMF ghost with food writers used for eyes. First time I actually made the "daisies" (brown eyed susies) the right way. I had to dowl the lid but since I had to have it "All Edible," I used a candy stick! I hope it holds it, it has to last a week on display! I wanted to use the Jack-o face but I thought it would be too much

Alright friends, thanx for the compliments, I placed 3rd over all! Beat out by my Wilton instructor plus one other! Thought it would have placed at least 2nd but they actually tasted them this time and it was the 1st year I added extra stuff to the mix to make it more durable! So they probably went by taste and mine was probably dry!

Thanx girls! Bummed becase the indian corn didn't show up well! Much nicer in person! Cattails just make my heart shiver! I love them...can I say that about my own cake?
