@horsecountrycakes: I just baked the cake using a ball pan. Then covered in fondant very carefully, half at a time. Then sat it upright and stuck on all the molded roses and buttons one at a time. Used leaves as fillers and then some edible pearls to fill in small spots that still showed up. It took a ton of time. Two nights straight of staying up until 1:30 in the morning, then back up at 6AM. It was definately a labor of love.
