The cake is red velvet with cream cheese icing, covered in fondant. The martini glass is plastic with piping gel inside. I would have liked to make the glass out of sugar, but i was afraid the weight of it would have collapsed the cake. I hot glued 3 dowel rods to the bottom of the glass.The tassels on the cake are royal icing. This is my first pillow cake & hopefully not my last it was so much fun to make. Thanks for looking!!!!
