Here's where I differ from pp - if it is a buttercream cake, I decorate after I stack. I ice them seperately, but the diamond and flowers I would do after stacking - that way if you do get a figer globby, you can re-smooth or ice. If...

$200 plus extra for the abby cadabby (is that plastic or gumpaste?). $4 a serving is what I charge for fondant covering.

cakedout - can you get me info on that show? Thanks!
