Again, thank you for all the encouragement. I needed an extra push to finish this cake. I think I have all the flowers done and am ready to start on the stacking and fondant. This is my first cake dummy, too. Everything is a first!

Comment by Sandra Smiley on August 16, 2014 at 10:57am: Thank you, thank you, Gali! I don't have a cake room, sob, just my kitchen and the walls are full of cabinets. My husband keeps running me out so he can cook real food :o)

I just looked at a lot of pictures and tried to make the centers as close as possible, except, I added more color to pick up the red and yellow in the Scarlet Macaws. I thought the bright blues really set them off, too.

Trust me on this, it doesn't make any difference how old you are or how small THEY are, it will still scare you to death! And, Bonnie, I don't want anything to do with jelly fish either! I am a weenie, I like the pool :o(

Comment by Betty on August 15, 2014 at 10:43pm: Leaches !!! Yes. Laying over a log in the water, gotum on my mid section/stomach. I was about 7 yrs old scared me to death. My Dad put chewing tobacco on them to make them turn loose. Remember it well.

Love this picture with the orchids and the water behind, beautiful...
