How did you get your swiss dots so smooth and even?

Thanks!

Actually, I was pretty amazed myself at the end result. I just kept doing one step at a time and wondered how it was all going to come together.

Loriemoms, to make the swiss dots I just piped 3 dots in a triangle shape (trying to keep them approximately the same size) and then waited for them to crust a bit and flattened them with a clean fingertip dipped in cornstarch (a tip I learned here on CC).

bostonterrierlady, if you are referring to the roses in the topper... yes, I made them from gumpaste. The gold "50" is an anniversary pick from Wilton that I bought at the store.
