This cake was for my daughter's second birthday. . .we had a Dora splash party. The three cakes are iced in BC. All decorations, except for the characters and clouds are fondant. The clouds are RI. The tree is a piece of 2 1/2 "PVC with a styrofoam disc on top (covered in BC to resemble bark and leaves) driven down into middle layer. I was really pleased with it and my daughter loved it!
