I made this cake for my daughter's cake auction at school. Unfortunately, the cookies toppled out on the way there and then the auctioneer (my father-in-law) dropped it as he picked it up to auction it. The cake was iced in buttercream, cookies in royal icing. I used a 10" ring mold pan, the cookies were attached to floral wire with white chocolate and stuck into foil wrapped floral foam. Next time I might try using an upside down flower pot over the foam to steady it more.
