Hat Box II

I had a request for the hat box for a 90th birthday, also in purples and white.  I went with a lighter shade of mauve and accented it with darker violets and the light chartreuse orchids.  The construction of the box, specifically placing the lid on, actually went a little smoother than I remember the last time!  The cake was a marble and buttercream with sugar flowers.

 The flowers took awhile but I was happy with the way they turned out and love the colour combination.
