Antelope Valley Fair Competition Cake

 O.K....here it is.  Four tier wedding cake for the A.V. Fair competition.  As slow as I am...this took a long time.  Lucky it is cake dummies and not real cake.  You can't decorate a cake without any mishaps...while putting on the flower tree, I broke a petal off of one of the flowers way at the top...did a quick patch with some royal icing and said a little prayer that it stays until after judging.  I did such a bad job of putting the fondant on the bottom tier that I put on the medallions...not the original plan.  I think it was ment to be because I love the way the medallions look.   All in all, I like the way it turned out...lets see what the judges have to say.   

it is very pink

butterfly...wings and body wired together separately

top tier needed something so took left-over flowers and made just a little something and added letters at last minute...looks much better

lace medalions cut from two separate cutters

lacy tier components cut from the same cutter set as the medalions

UPDATE:   Won Best of Show
