Many thanks for sharing, and best of luck at the fair!

(51,460 posts)It's on styrofoam with around 8 pounds of fondant and modeling chocolate. To tell thee truth, I would say this is an epic fail from what I designed. I misjudged the weight and the 'tree limb' came crashing down 9 days ago. Messed up the foundation board, and knocked his head side-ways. This was the best I could do to fix it.
