Capital Confectioners Cake & Sugar Art Show Entry

critique subgroup member: I entered this in the beginner's category for the Austin cake show and it won first place, best in class and best in show!! I was just so shocked. Thanks to all of you who have helped me become a better beginner and especially to the subgroup for all of your feedback. It's a sculpted cake with fondant and gumpaste accents, RKT head and limbs and the treasure chest is RKT with hard candy for gems. The ground is painted fondant to look like a dungeon floor. Thanks for looking!
