I think you are right, Bonnie.  If I want to use it as a separator, I need to cover it with a sugar mosaic.

That is an interesting idea, June.  I may just have to do that.  It is pretty heavy, made of glass.  My intention was to have just a 6" x 4" layer on top of it and the birds will be supported by pvc inserted through all layers.  Their "stem" (for lack of a better word) will be inserted into the pvc, so no weight will actually be on the cake.  The pvc will be bolted to the base, cake drum (made of plywood and covered, of course).

But she is incorporating it into the layers of the cake, not as a cake stand.

Yes Gail....would be very unique. But of course, the vessel would have to be sturdy to hold the weight of the birds.

I made a cake stand for my nephews cake. I found a really colourful Mexican looking vase. Then I found a similar plate. Glued them together and wa la....instant, unique cake stand. So you could glue a sturdy board on top of this vessel, and of course, cover the board in fondant.

Oh, wow, guys.  Now I am blushing.......  Thanks so much for your kind support.  I do this for fun but I am a competitor.  Probably comes from being an athlete in high school :o)

I had considered doing just as you suggested, Bonnie, covering the whole thing with a mosaic design.  I want to use Mayan carvings on the layers, but I may run out of time.  I do have the flowers made....I hope!

Thank you all for your suggestions and encouragement!

It sure is Purdy! lol  If you are only shooting for the beginners class, it might not matter.  But I personally think you should enter for the grand prize.  Your work is no way 'beginner' quality.  It IS up there with the best, and this is not just talking to hear myself talk, ask some of the others?  Get June to ask Nick, since they are so buddy-buddy lol   Or she could show it to Amelia Carbine.  Truth, next to your particular style of presentation, I would list a lot of the others as 'cartoonists'.

They don't have any rules.  The only stipulation for my beginner class - for decorators of one year or less - is the base is not to exceed 24" x 24".  The only other class with a stipulation is the Wedding Cake category and it just says it must be a fondant cake.  It is just a fair  -  not like the Tulsa State Fair, either :O0 .... I HOPE!
