All of the decorations on this cake were cut with my Cricut ! Everything is cut out of fondont, I have also used gumpast but didn't want to color a whole bunch of gumpaste and I had chocolate fondont, it work pretty well. I had to learn the thickness I needed to run through the machine and there were alot of trial and error pieces but I got what I needed. I made the pearls and dusted them with pearl dust along with the chain around the ribbon on the monograming. I wired beads and placed them into each rose also, I like the effect of the flowers and beads. The bottom cake is the real cake the other four are dummies. My kids thought it was so silly to put all of the work into the dummies, but that was what the bride wanted and I was so happy with the end product.
