Ballerina on Cake Central

My entry for the Austin cake show. This was my first cake contest and I was inspired by all of the cakes on the site!!! Everything is fondant with gum paste ballet slippers.

I saw this in person and even took a picture of it because I thought it was so amazing! Great work! Truly amazing!

I wish everyone here could see just how "delicate" the ballet slippers were in person! Beautiful cake!!!

This is beautiful - well done. How did you do the layered skirt effect without them "wilting" on top of one another?

To keep the layers from wilting, I let each layer dry for several hours before adding the next layer!

This is the nicest cake that I have ever seen. I was asking around to make a dress cake for my daughter but everyone said that my idea is not possible. Do you have any advice on how to make it come to life?
