Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries

Hi- I made this cake for my Great Aunt.( today is her 74th birthday!) she absolutely loves mary englebreit and cherrys, and she liked it so much she started crying when she saw it. ( she says she won't eat it but i hope she will.) it took about 10 hours but it was totaly worth it. It's red velvet cake with buttercream dream icing covered, the cherry stems are royal icing and the bowl, cherries and the sign are MM foundant. thanks for looking -Samantha (age 16)

This is really not a cake, it's a piece of art! I can see why she didn't want to cut it but I sure hope she did. It's absolutely beautiful, in every way. You did a wonderful job!
