Grace says that she had this project on her to-do list for quite a while but has always been too intimidated to start. However, she decided to finally take the plunge and says she’s very glad she did.

Grace assured that everything you see on the cake is edible – except for maybe the cattail stems that are made of dried bamboo

To create all the tiny details, Grace used sweet bean paste and agar-based jello. She says it was her first time using the paste and she spent 40 minutes peeling the kidney beans just to make the tiny waterlily leaves.
