My friend gave me free license. All she told me was they were having his party in his new treehouse that his dad built & said I could use that theme or Halloween. I had this idea flying around in my head but wasn't sure how to exececute it. Didn't want to spend the Dollars on the center pole wedding cake stand. They also have a bakery & with the suggestions of one of the decorators I built my own support system from styrofoam. The trunk and cake plate are glued, carved & doweled to the board.
