Are those ALL frosting flowers? How long did this cake take you? It's beautiful!

Yup, all buttercream. And I made it in my sister's tiny NY city apartment, in June in the sweltering heat! I'm shocked it even worked. It really only took about 3 hours...the advantage to using buttercream was that I didn't have to make each flower perfect (I just used either a big star or drop flower tip...can't remember off the top of my head) and no one knew the difference! :) And thanks! Glad you liked it!!
