This is my entry for the Orange county fair, it is in the formal category. It's a love bird wedding theme.. The decorations are fondant and gum paste. The birdcage is royal icing, it is 2 pieces. The dome is one piece and the body of the cage is the other piece. It took several tries. Everything is edible except the inside of the cake,( foam dummies were required) and support dowels.. I find out tomorrow if I placed or not ;o)

**Update 7/10/09 - This got 2nd place** My other cake placed 1st ;o)
