I have long admired the Biltmore house and have done a lot of research on the Vanderbilt family. I wanted to create the fairytale feel of the house by placing it on a pop up book. Biltmore House was built in 1895 and the spectacles on the front depict the era. This is mostly made of gum paste and fondant. The majority of it is carved and took 4 months to make. You can view my video on youtube for more details. It was great fun and I plan to enter again. Thanks for checking it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1Sv6mSaXVs
