After I made the frozen
butter cream transfer of my sister's invitation, she and I talked about it. In order for that exact-sized design to fit on the top of a cake, the cake would have to be baked in a 10" pan. Since that would be the top level, and she wants a two-tier cake, the bottom tier would have to be 12". We both agreed that would be too much cake for the small party. I
could try to make the woman smaller, but it was a lot of work and I had another idea; make the girl out of gumpaste. She would be 2D, not 3D.

The only things missing are one earring (it fell off and I need to reattach it) and the gold chain of her purse, which will be done at a later date, closer to the shower, in yellow royal icing.
I will someone stand her up on the cake. I am thinking of attaching a skewer to the back of her with gumpaste so it can dry securely, then I can insert the skewer into the cake.
The party is April 30, so I will post the completed pictures right after the party weekend.

She looks great! Good job =o) I have never tried cutting out anything that complicated. I can't keep the edges from shredding and the gumpaste from moving around when I am trying to cut it out! I know I need a new blade, maybe that would help. =o)
