LOL at Tony!
That is very cool! I've seen some interesting cakes, but never anything like that!
TFS!

Thats a nice cake. The problem is that it rots and will start to look bad in a couple of days.

That is too cool!
And it looks fairly easy to make (albeit a lot of work) -- except for the flower. Maybe make a rhodantha? Those flowers would be a lot easier!
