How fun you must have had decorating it. I love decorating cakes too, but they are nursery school level compared to yours. I hope you win because that cake desrves an award!

I love the little "drips" and "drops" of "frosting". Looks "good enough to eat", even though I'd hate to see it cut open, cuz it's too beautiful to eat. It should be on display somewhere. That would be SO perfect for a cartoonist's reception or art exhibition!

Glad you took photos!
