The adorable paw prints were done with a stamp using gold luster dust. I think the gold ties in together very nicely with the blue and red. Everything else was made of fondant/gumpaste and is completely edible. The red egg symbolizes happiness and the renewal of life, according to some sources. A Red Egg party is typical in the Chinese culture to celebrate the first three months of a baby's life. http://simplyhomemadecakes.blogspot.com/
