Made this for my friends daughters Baby shower everyone loved it and it was lots of fun to make!! I had a feeling it was so cute no one would want to eat it so I put two bowls of fruit on the side of it for everyone to enjoy and everyone commented how cute it was and they could not eat it!! lol So the extra fruit on the side came in handy :)
