Have finally taken the plunge and tried cornelli... i wasn't sure whether to put a "border" around the top, but i've left it as is and think it's ok... are you supposed to border cornelli??? I won't post the pic here - it's in my gallery - but here's the link ...

Excellent job. I too like it without the border!
It looks great! I love the board cutouts. You definitely do not need a border. Great job!
Awww... thanks guys... everything is edible - numbers and stars... only things that arent are the wires (obviously) and the curly ribbon (got slack and couldnt be bothered making anymore fondant decorations.
The colour is delphinium blue ... so jen1977 gets a gold star! I was a little worried that it was starting to look like "blu tac" but by the time I glittered & cornelli'd it doesnt look too bad.
The board cutouts I had done before for a christening cake and like the effect - was just an experiment at the time that I actually thought looked rather special ((if i dont say so myself!)).
Thanks for all the positive comments... nothing like an ego boost!!

PS: all this was done on a day where i am absolutely shattered (late night with Robbie Williams) and actually had very little creativity in me!!! (you'll notice the cake actually slopes down at the front... hopefully they will all be too pissed to notice it tomorrow night!! hehehe))
