This is for the Victorian-themed baby shower; please tell me what else I should do, specifically with the middle tier. I have pink royal icing. thumbs_up.gif

I don't have any more roses. icon_redface.gif

BTW, does anyone know how to clean up the shiny part? It had water on it when I was "cleaning" it, that's why. But it's still glossy.

I use a jaycloth filled with corn starch and icing sugar like a powder puff. I gently tap it to get a light release of the sugar in order to remove shine and moisture. Works like a charm.
Your cake is beautiful.
I vote for a bow as well. It is complete.
Very nice too by the way.

It looks awesome! I agree i wouldn't put anything else on but a topper! If you don't have anymore roses or a bow how about booties!

I like the bow idea, and can I just say WOW! That looks AMAZING!!! If that is what you can do at 15, I'm sure we will be seeing you on the food network someday. I AM JELOUS!
I would say botties or a plastic old fashion stroller?
