I adore that beaded topper... did you make it? And I love your use of the gold!! It's so rich and warm looking!

Yes, I made the topper. Each number is made from plastic crystal beads in the back and gold beads in the front. Then glued the two together. I'm happy with how it turned out, considering I winged it.

Very nice effect, carrying down the design onto the cake board. Great alternative to a piped border.

Wonderful cake!! Ditto on the border.....really NICE!!!

This is so pretty. I may need to borrow this idea for a blue and gold cake I need to do.
