At the time of her 3rd birthday, Lilly was crazy about the Wizard of Oz! The "Emerald City" was made out of candy sticks (with the white strips washed off) and green gumdrops (de-sugared). The poppies were made in advance out of royal icing and the backdrop was reinforced with a cake board (a last minute improvisation which turned out to be a good idea since this cake got moved around quite a bit)
