I did this cake for a wedding cake contest (my first one). I was happy with my cake but there were so many others that were amazing. However, I did get 3rd runner up. I learned a lot, JenniferMI helped me a lot . There was a lot I would like to have done better. But the topper is all made out of gumpaste. And I hand rolled all of the pearls - came to 600 of them. Please leave comments.
