lisa5573 - I used the wilton ball cake pan - or rather one half of it since it comes in two halves. Roll out your gumpaste, cut a little hole in center for wooden skewer, cut out the edge with a small round cutter, dust the half ball pan with cornstarch, place cut pink(or whatever color) gumpaste over pan and allow to dry. when dry, put wooden skewer through hole and firm it up on top and bottom of umbrella with moistened ball of gumpaste. Let that dry up 15 hours or more before using.
Did you use a mold for the gumpaste umbrella? It looks great. I'm looking at doing something similar but I don't know what to use for the umbrella. Thanks :)
This is the cutest shower cake!
