Ri Icing Princess Carriage

Carriage that will be part of DD's Princess Castle cake. All RI. Made using a technique I saw Michelle Bommarito (sp) use on the Food Network Christmas Cake Challenge; piping RI on an inflated balloon, then deflating the balloon once it was dry. It's a little crooked since the balloon started deflating a little before I was done. Dusted with NuSilver & Aztec Gold Luster Dusts mixed with Super Pearl. TFL!

Thank you all for your nice comments! They make me as giddy as I was when I finished it, and saw it put together. :lol: It was done freehand because I was afraid that any ink put on the balloon to mark out the pattern would stain the RI. The wheel bases are 18 gage floral wire coated (quite thickly :D ) in RI then attached to the wheels.
