I baked my smial early in the afternoon and this is how it looks like:

I'm so happy that I am now able to hold it ^-^ As you can see, I added the red mushroom cups along the sides of the smial  (beside the door and the window);

three toadstool mushrooms next to the pond;

the succulents on the left side;

and the blueberries at the back. 

I didn't attach the fence because it covered my succulents. And between the fence and my plants, the latter would always win.

I made the tree and baked it before dinner hoping I could show you guys the finished sculpture.

However, the top of the leaves got scorched -_- The leaves that I painstakingly attached one by one are ruined.

I tried fixing it by scraping the burn marks. And then I talked myself into believing that the leaves are undergoing senescence, that it's normal for trees to have brown and green leaves. I may have fooled you with the pics but I won't be able to fool myself. It's just won't do.

Bye, bye tree :'(

I'd make another one tomorrow. My adorable smial deserves to have the best tree from me! And I owe it to myself. I've been working on this for three days already. I can't settle for anything less than the best I could give. Another day won't hurt.

Aja!
