Thanks so much for the help. I was thrilled to see the templates. They are perfect and will save me time searching. I think I am leaning towards the royal icing, I haven't used gum paste very much. I need to take the time and experiment more with it, there is so much you can do with it. I have been on this site for a while, so I know how addicting it can be, I just have not been on the forum. When I needed help, I knew I could find it here. It's great. Thanks so much.
