Wanted to show some of the details of the top tier. I made a 'branch cookie cuttter' and cut out the tree branches in gumpaste then attached them to a sugar cone. The little bear is reaching for a candy cane off the tree, though he ended up being hidden behind the presents.
This was my entry to the Iowa State Fair last year. Got a blue ribbon. Almost all figures and decorations are gumpaste. Cut up gummy worms for lights and used m&m's for bulbs, snow is buttercream on stryofoam dummies (fair rules).
All the figures and the sign are made of gumpaste - no wires because it was and entry in the Iowa State Fair and only edible decorations were to be used (I broke the ferris wheel several times before it finally held). Everything else is buttercream (though after the cake was done I thought of a way to do the tablecloth out of gumpaste. Too late though).
I made Scooby by printing a picture and using it as a stencil which was filled in with the star technique. The bones (8 for 8th birthday) are mmf.

Birthday cake for a fisherman. Everything is buttercream except for the gummy worm.

The roses and leaves are gumpaste. I airbrushed them to get the darker colors. The greek key design around each tier is in buttercream.
