I had to handcut and paint the bottle and glasses. They are the same gumpaste. The umbrella finally dried. I just made it too big or I should have made thinner layers. I had to tape together 3 craft sticks and add one going across the back also to hold this up and it still wants to pull a bit.
So if you want to do something heavy like this, you either need
1. a multi layer cake and a long stick for balance
2. thinner cuts so the weight doesn't want to pull it out of the cake.
All in all though for a small family birthday cake I am happy with the way it came out. So was the kitty, I don't know if you can tell where I had to try to repair it in the corner by the oyster shell, but kitty got up there while no one was watching and I walked in on her taking a nibble. Again, good thing this is for family.
