Pastiallge Cake Stand!


Project: Create an ALL EDIBLE cake stand made with pastiallge (similar to altoids or necco waffers) along with 4 small boxes.
Theme: Initials. Anything that has to do with your initials (like if my first initial was D I could make 4 dogs holding up a cake...)
Cake: Orange Sponge cake filled with a lime curd, crumb coated with buttercream, and covered with fondant
My Theme: Costume History Design (18th century...French hats) 
Idea: Dress form holding up a large hat holding the cake with sugar flowers and feathers

Here's just the cake stand with the brim of the hat... I don't have the picture with the cake and flowers attached yet, but I should get them soon. Here's a preview anyway cause I'm excited.
