The Nutcracker Cake
My favorite cake! Made for a very dear friend's 80th Birthday. Top is modelled out of gumpaste. Top Tier cake was made by another friend and I made the fondant snowflakes. Gold star is fondant. Tree is cool, I used wire covered with green fondant and snipped leaves on each branch. The king is modelled gumpaste as is the 3-headed mouse king. The gift boxes were styrofoam covered with fondant and made by the grandchild of the birthday girl. Bottom tier is 16".

Andrea-I wanted to use petit fours for the gifts but didn't have time to do it all. Let me know how it turns out.

Thanks for the compliments. I wish there was a tip! I made each branch separate and cut leaves into each branch. They were wired and I bent the wire at about a 45 degree angle before sticking them into a styrofoam base. I will add a few close-ups of the figures later.
