This is gorgeous. Not just going into my favorites, it is my absolute favorite. You did an incredible job on all aspects of this cake...the detail, the colors, the stellar finished product. You should be really proud of this!

Wow! Such a fabulous cake! Everything is so perfect. I love the little rope along the bottom. Can you tell me how you made it? Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation!

thanks for the lovely comments!!!! I didn't expect such a response! The rope is made using a sugar gun but you can make two ropes and twist them together...kept breaking so I added little flowers to cover the oopsies!!

Oh my, this is one of the prettiest cakes I have seen in a LONG time! Your gumpaste work is excellent...the entire cake is just perfect!

if any of you do one, make extra flowers...had a few that broke due to pressure and pushing them too close together...Jan told me to start from the bottom up witht he arrangement and that is what I did...I did it on a styro dummy so I could do it ahead of time and then I just placed it on the cake today!..

Fantastic job! Wow! 8O I haven't done flowers yet, but I hope when I do they look like this! How long did it take you to do each rose?... Going to add this to my favorites. Very sophisticated looking!
