This was for a 30th. Birthday. The cake is frosted in buttercreme. The feathers are craft feathers arranged on a sucker stick, secured with white tape, and so feathers would not drop on to the cake I sprayed them with super hold hairspray (away from the cake of course) and left to dry. I decorated it with party picks, printed out a Vegas picture, drink stirrers, and 30th. Birthday candles.
