1. You did very well. It's beautiful.
Do you sell them - or do them for fun?

7. fondant, that's what I was thinking of
I have never worked with that stuff. That is a gorgeous cake. I did cake decoration but only the cheap traditional stuff. I really enjoyed it but because I was on production I got carpal tunnel within six months. (I had done alot of factory work prior).

You are very talented, that is great.

:applause:

20. Genius....the Gum Ball cake is genius...
I've never seen one like that before...:D My wife is a HUGE turlte lover too, she will enjoy trying to do the turtle/snorkeling one....thanks for the pics, I got this OP bookmarked, incase others chime in with pics....:D

The last one my wife did was a huge barbie princess cake, where she actually used a barberie doll, and the whole flowing dress was the cake itself...I might have a picture(somewhere) and scan/post it later. She also did our wedding cake, teddy bear in crib cakes, a bunch of them....

26. That's amazing.
I had trouble mastering and in fact did not ever master flowers, swags & lettering. You are a talented lady.

36. Your fondant sculpturing is really good
I think a layer of butter cream on top of the fodant would make it look better, but that's just my .02. :hi:
