I got the Idea from the Roland Winbecker (sp?) book on buttercream flowers. I made it for my piano teacher. She needed it for a party I told her at 11:00 A.m I would have it ready by 3:00 p.m I didn't think it was going to be a problem. I had just put the last flame on the candles when she pulled in to the drive way. Yikes! I was really rushing it to. Everything is buttercream and the background is airbrushed. The pine branches didn't come out to well because my frosting was to soft.
