Ok thanks everyone for the helpful tips and ideas. This is the first cake I have done for someone other than my kids. I think it's ok. Does anyone else have a problem with the rolled buttercream being too soft? I don't know if it was me or the recipe I used but when I went to put it on the cake it tore icon_cry.gif . At least it's easy to patch. So honestly tell me what you think. It's for a 60th birthday of a coworker. She is soooo going to get even with us for what we did to her office. icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks
LL

Thanks for the support. I didn't have a pattern for the rocking chair. I constructed it out of cardboard, toothpicks and pipe cleaners and then covered it with the MMF. Everyone at work loved it and said I should start doing them on the side as a little business. I don't know if it was that good (I feel I'm kinda a perfectionist with things like this). The birthday girl loved it and I'm just waiting now for the revenge.
