Contest Cake: Part 1

Well, I have 6 days left to complete my contest entry.  I never thought it would be easy but, it is DEFINITELY taking me longer than anticipated.  Wish me luck and pray that I finish in time!!

Take a look at what I've got so far...

Painted spaghetti for my pine needles.

Holly leaves...duh.

Gumpaste halo to hold my poinsettias, berries, and doves.

Poinsettias before...

Poinsettias after.

Doves: Part 1

It's coming along nicely but still have a long way to go.
