Royal icing structure. The tower stood approximately 30" tall. Together, with the cake, the height was over 36". How I constructed it can be read here, http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopic-729350-0.html
9", 7", 5" layers with top edges trimmed. Buttercream finish with fondant overlays. Back done using teardrop cutters and ball tool to ruffle edges. Dollops of buttercream added then dipped into pink glitter after they were dried. Pleated area stenciled with petal dust before edges folded (note smudging). Puffs (I HAD to use them on something! I was dying to use the technique since peecheekeeno shared her entry cake!) with Wilton candy balls between and buttercream drop strings. Edging around bodice made using smallest of the pme(?) plunger cutter from set. Bodice embossed with a paper embosser roller (I think it's supposed to be used in a fiskars paper crimper roller gadget.) 1/2 arsed cornelli lace on front.
Stencilled royal icing orchids. Stencilled each piece onto small pieces of parchment and placed in flower formers/ over cones to dry. Once dried, assembled using royal icing and allowed to dry again. These can also be made as wired flowers, if desired.
12,10,8,6,4 tiers with mmf finish.

The flowers are made of a mixture of fondant and gumpaste and include peonies, roses, calla lilies, daisies, hydrangeas and other filler flowers. This was greatly inspired by the work of other CC members!
