Thanks!  Yes, it did, Becky.  I worked on it off and on (mostly on) for three months.  I learned so much, though.  Almost everything was a first.  My favorite thing is the spray of orchids on top.

Thank you, June!  All of the hugs I have received from you guys helps a lot, believe me!  And, bless his heart, Mike was with me and gave me a hug, too.

I have about decided, since I do not get orders for cakes and I do not have enough friends and family to satisfy my caking needs (and Mike and I can surely not eat that much cake), to concentrate on big, elaborate, competition cakes.  I can't think of a better way to push myself to learn new skills.  I think right here and now, if I plan to do sugar art, I best be willing and able to accept breakage and loss since that is the nature of the medium. 

Again, I very much appreciate everyone's kind words because my heart was a little sore.  It's just about well now :o)

That was my reaction exactly, Goreti.  Like I said, standing there with my mouth hanging open...speechless.  Oh well, if I expected permanency, I would be using clay instead of sugar.  But I just love the sugar arts!

OMG Sandra
Just reading this. I'm so so sorry. Yes, it not being a cake show, they couldn't possibly understand their mistake. As Katy said, I would be devastated. Had a good cry!! Thank goodness you took so many wonderful pictures. Hats off to you for deciding to re-create!! I bet you'll know there socks off in January if you do.....

Oh Sandra, I cannot even imagine how you must have felt when you saw it.  It must have taken a few moments to even comprehend what your eyes were seeing.
