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.

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.
