62. Absolutely amazing, but I have one question.

How many hours of your life did you devote to that incredible work of art?

Not that it was a waste or anything. I imagine it's very therapeutic to put something like that together, and it keeps your mind off the orange asshole in the Oval Office.

WELLDONE!

[bluedeminredstate]

82. The details are so perfect!

This is really beautiful! All the colors are so true to the original animation - I'm blown away by Belle's dress and Beast's suit. All the characters around the cake look so much like the real thing from the movie. I'm in awe that you made this yourself and it looks exactly like real thing that I watched about 700 times with my kids when they were little! You are very talented. Congratulations!!

87. Have always admired the talent

required to produce this work of art. I'm lucky if I get icing on the top of a cupcake.
How long have you been creating these artistic pieces?

Mrs. Potts is entotled to look stones. She is fired clay after all.
