I am entering my first cake competition tomorrow and I've just finished the cake (it's 10.30pm here and the cake is due there at 9.30 am tomorrow). It was my first time working with fondant, my first gumpaste flowers and my first time modelling (a lot of firsts! icon_eek.gif ). I've been working on this cake for weeks and its kinda anti-climactic now that its finished!

So anyway, please let me know what you think (I am entering the beginner category and it is an Easter theme).

Kelly

Wow! You did an awesome job on everything! That little bunny is simply adorable with that chocolate smeared on his little face. Reminds me of my daughter when she was a toddler...........when I would ask her a question about something awry she would always tell me, "the rabbit did it", with the evidence on her face! icon_lol.gif

BEST OF LUCK in the competition! We will be anxiously waiting to hear how you do with your gorgeous cake! icon_smile.gif

Oh wow, the daffodils are awesome!

I haven't gotten into gumpaste flowers yet. I'm too afraid to....with such a busy household I am afraid of getting in over my head.
