What do you all think?? they sounded so simple to make... pain in the butt really! this is for a friend who placed my first order for an Xmas cake... hopefully she'll like it.

Looks great! I'm still too scared to try drapes and swags, but I never would have guessed that to have been your first attempt! Way to go!

Hi Fi,
It's a charming cake. The only suggestion I would have on the swags is to fold under a little hem on the bottom of the paste before gathering into the pleats. It gives it a more finished look when it is applied to the cake.
