First time using gum paste. Two tiers, cover in MMF. Tea pot in RKT covered in MMF . Handle and spout is made of gum paste along with the tea cups. String of pearls are not edible. I made a string of pearls for the cake but they just wouldnt stick. So I opt for fake ones. I don't like using non-edible decor. In this case I had to. Thank you for looking.
