A new challenge! Snowboarding bride and groom!

I am rather proud of myself...but psschhht! Don't tell anyone! I have, in the last 3 days or is it 4, started and perfected, and perfected again, and changed a few things, and finally finished my first wedding cake figure! And I think it came out really really cute! Had I known I can actually do this, I would have made my own 6 years ago! 

Anyway, story behind this : a friend of mine told me she needed a wedding cake topper with her and her future husband as snowboaders, with the clothes and the board and that she thought I could do it. I, of course, read this before going to bed, and couldn't fall asleep for at least 2 hours...I went on the computer, started looking for examples, found only one, looked for tutorials, anything really...the next day I started thinking... so I made the base, and it went well. Then the next morning, I made the body of the man, and I thought, wow! Not bad, and from then on, I was on a roll. I think I changed his arms about 4 times total, and hers twice. He got a second head, and then I added a bit of sugar and sprinkles to make the base look more like snow! Here is the result!! You know the best part? I didn't lose it once! No tantrum, no throwing bad figurines on the walls, nothing! Yay! What do you think?
