I agree - that's a BEAUTIFUL cake, but I have a question. A couple of years ago my daughter made a cake for the 4H county fair. She made an interesting cake with a pond, lily pad border, figure piped ducks, and cattails sticking up at one end of the pond. The cattails were made of royal and inserted in the cake the night before the cake was turned in for competition. By morning the cattails had dissolved in the cake and fallen over. Talk about a scramble to try to fix things! How do you keep yours from melting? Is it a time factor - they're only there for a few hours whereas my daughter's was 12+ hours? We're really interested in learning how to decorate this way successfully, so any thoughts you have would be helpful.
