This was my entry in the 2011 Colorado State Fair Themed Cake Decorating Contest. the theme was the Fabulous Fifties. I used the form cake recipe for the base and skirt. The skirt was baked in a bowl and then carved to enhance the shape. The dance floor in individually cut and laid squares of fondant. The poodle on her skirt is part fondant cut out and partly piped in RI. Her slip is from the edge of a lace mold I made in a class. I won 2nd place for her.
