This is the first time I used gum paste. I need lots more practice. So, this was basically a practice cake for my daughter's 6th birthday. I'm not at all satisfied with it. I got crumbs in my icing too. Just not one of my favorites cakes I've done. It's nothing in comparison to bitsyga's cake. Her Phineas & Ferb cake is awesome! Thanks to her for inspiration & instruction!!
