My 2nd gumpaste bride (the 1st met an early demise) took 3rd place at the Austin Cake Show & Competition Feb 28th. She was dressed entirely in Sugarveil which gets very dry & brittle and the veil kept breaking so I used lace at the last minute to complete the look. Big Mistake!! During meet & greet the judge advised that I should have left the veil off completely rather than use a non-organic material. BIG deduction! Oh well, live and learn...
