Mom's Monogram Cake

I made this cake for my mom's 60th birthday. It's covered with mmf with mmf & royal icing details. I also made the bow with a mmf/gumpaste mix. A little bit of shimmer was added with luster dust. You probably can't see it, but there's also a little swaroski crystal in each of the white flowers. The mmf detail on the top layer was supposed to look like flowers, but instead they look like flames. Oh well. Now I know what I can use to make flames if I need to.

Thanks for the comments. I made this back in October. If I remember correctly, I used wilton's colors: burgundy, rose, & pink. I don't remember how much of each I used. I just kept adding a little bit of this and a little bit of that until I got the color how I wanted. Hope that helps.
