Even a little bead border would have hidden those gaps!But, like someone else said, I'll bet the cake was EXACTLY what they wanted. I don't think Mama Clinton would have it any other way!

Well, I had to start the cake over this morning and got it done just in the nick of time. Had to get another bottle of Wilton's b/c that's the only clear type that is easily accessible, but when I make the trek to the cake shop this...

Good point! Thanks!
