My daughter's preschool, Desert Sun, turned 30 today. They had a picnic celebration, and I made this cake to honor the event. The modeling is done with a mixture of gumpaste and fondant (mostly gumpaste, because my fondant turned out very stretchy and floppy this time). 10, 8, and 6 inch layers, stacked off-center so that the edges lined up in the back. The figures owe a lot to Aine2's work, obviously! And credit for the style of tree goes to Dydemus.
