instructions

At least 2 days in advance, mix 2 teaspoons of Gum-Tex with 8 oz. of fondant.

Roll out 1/8 in. thick and cut eight 4 in. wide x 2 in. deep crescents for bottom border, make extras to allow for breakage and let dry on cornstarch-dusted surface.

Prepare 2-layer cake for rolled fondant by lightly icing with buttercream. Cover cake with fondant; smooth with Easy-Glide Smoother.

Using Brush-On Color and Cake Stamps, stamp flower and glass shapes on cake top, bows on cake sides and doves on crescents.

With Brush-On Color, paint vines, leaves and dots. Roll two 1/4 in. diameter fondant ropes; twist together to form a braid and attach to bottom border with damp brush.

Position crescents by lightly pressing points into cake side. Roll small balls and attach to crescent points with damp brush
