Here's the finished product, thanks everyone for your help. I made a little gumpaste bowl filled with gumpaste flowers. I like it!

Of course, I dropped it off at the show last night, and compared to the others, mine totally looks messy and amateurish. I'm not kidding, there is PHENOMENAL talent on display at that show, if you live close enough, get yourself over there today!!!!

It's gorgeous! You did a fantastic job, you're being too hard on yourself.

Wow...it's really beautiful!

WOW Absolutely beautiful..........I love how you finished it off with the bowl of flowers. It's perfect!

Good luck!

It is absolutely PERFECT!!! beautiful!!!

The flowers are perfect! I wish my flowers would look that amateurish! You did a great job!

Wow! It looks fabulous!

What a beautiful cake!

Very nice job!

Love the little pot with flowers idea. I was going to suggest two swans but I saw the thread too late.

Beautiful finish for this cake. Good luck on your entry. I had trouble with RI tiaras and I made a quick one out of melted candy. That dried quick and made it the same day I put it on my grand daughter's cake. I think you made the perfect topper for this cake.

It's beautiful! I love the bowl of roses!

You did a great job. I've been waiting for this pic We are our own worst critic. You did a wonderful job.

HI, cake boss, my sister in law went to the Austin cake show andshe took pictures of your cake too. she sent me the pics yesterday morning and i really loved your cake. And last night I saw your cake on CC. Wow you have really come up with a good idea. That's indeed a gorgeous finished product. May I ask you how did you make your blue swags look shiny? did you paint something on it?
