It's a little lumpy and imperfect, but not bad for a first attempt at the whole fruitcake-marzipan-fondant spiel, I think. (Yes, I know those are oak leaves, and not holly. Using the cookie cutter we had was so much easier than trying to freehand them. Deal.)

Mmmm... Marzipan... That doesn't look that bad at all.

Oh my goodness! It's lovely. Apparently you managed to keep a certain someone's fingers out of the marzipan long enough to finish it ;-). I'm in awe of your culinary talents.

There was barely enough marzipan as it was. I totally misjudged the size of the package. As for the fondant, though, there's still about 1/4-1/3 of the package of white, and of the colours, still half the green, most of the red, and the blue and yellow are untouched. (Wonder if it'll keep.. I could make Easter cupcakes or something?)

Lovely! I would happily eat it. :)

--It is beautiful!!!
--If you pinched the tips of the oak leaves, would you get holly-like points?

I thought of that only after I'd already stuck them on the cake, and they're too firm now... c'est la vie!

I bow before your marzipan-fondant using self! I always end up making a mess! Have you ever looked at Cake Wrecks? It'll make you ten times even more proud of your masterpiece I promise!

Yes, I thought about making a comment to the effect that I hoped this wasn't a cake-wreck...

It's beautiful.
