Experimenting with different things here. I did the letters and gifts with candy molds, flowers in royal icing, the rest in buttercream. Everything that could have gone wrong on this cake did...the list is too long to mention. BUT....I learned how to roll with the punches and cover mistakes. The design went in a completely different direction than planned, but overall I am pleased with the results...Constructive criticism is always welcome and appreciated...what do you think?
