I got an A+ for this "cake". Actually a styrofoam form with rolled fondant and gum paste ribbon accents and carnations tipped in pink by painting the flower edges with pink pearl dust mixed with vodka (clear alcohol). This was fun to make and we used the cake several times as a gag (it is hard as a rock when people tried to cut into it for a slice). I had never taken any type of class before this one, even the instructor was impressed.
