So cute!

Soooo cute!

The palm tree leaf was made with the Wilton cutter used to make the petals on the star gazer lily. I just added a wire and pinched up the middle on the top and then scored the leaf on both sides at an angle a bunch of times and then the final time made some cuts that went all the way through. I let the palm fronds then dry just a bit and then pushed the wire into the top of the fondant palm trunk.

Beautiful work! And yes, I hear you re the amount of time custom work takes, I particularly love your palm tree. I find it fun to see how different people approach the same thing, different interpretations. That takes up a lot of the decorating time, doesn't it? I spent a great deal of time on my palm, just figuring out how to get the effect I wanted. This is a delightful cake! So well executed.
