Wanted to share my first shot at an MMF covered cake, and also gumpaste flowers.

Thanks to everyone at CC!
Good Job! I love the totem faces, they are great. And your fondant looks impeccable.
Incredible job! I'm just starting to learn to work with fondant and I can tell you, I have ALOT of work to do to get as good as your first!!!
Thanks very much! Its funny how scared to death I was when putting all that together, especially flopping the fondant on. I put too much buttercream on the 2nd tier and realized how difficult that could make it to get a smooth surface, so its a little curvy down the sides, instead of being straight. I never managed to push all the buttercream back up from the bottom lol.
The tiki masks I did by cutting out pieces fondant, then I used all the little leftover bits of gumpaste from my flowers and just kind of delicately rolled them out into strings. They were "glued" on by painting a streak of water where I wanted the string of gumpaste to go, and I used the tip of my little paintbrush to push or press as needed. And, painted the little lines on the headband with just black coloring paste.
Love the tikis, love the colors. Great job!

It looks great! I love tiki faces too. They remind me of a Playstation game I used to play with my little sister called Crash Bandicoot lol.
You did a fantastic job on that fondant... it looks sooo smooth and that is hard to do! I refused to take pictures of my first fondant cake
it sucked really, really, bad.
