I sponged, piped, brushed, rolled, boiled :O) everything on this cake. Completely edible. Rice paper wings. It was for a mom of 3 and pregnant so the 4 colored flowers represent the children. The 2 lily pads represent her and her husband. The reason for a spring cake is because she is always cold and thought a 'warm' cake would help a little. Thanks for looking!! God Bless!
