This was Audrey's first time entering the Big E cake contest. She won 2nd place in the 6 - 12 division. Not bad for a 9-year-old who's never decorated a cake before!

The purple, green and yellow Mardi Gras beads were piped buttercream. Everything else was sculpted fondant. The musical notes were painted on with gel food coloring.
