I had a lot of fun doing this cake. It's all fondant, lace panels, and flowers. The butterflies are made with rice paper. Third place, not bad for a newbie, sorry for bragging. TFL..
Ok, I will tell you about the lace. It's EASY, I cut the shape I wanted from fondant or gumpaste and then layed a piece of lace on top of the fondant and then took my angled spatula and spread royal icing over the lace, then lift off the lace. (carefully) and then you have a nice design. Make sure your lace has holes big enough for the icing to go through. Good Luck, and if you have problems, just pm me. Thanks everyone for the thoughtful comments. Peggy
