Purple cake for a practically 14 year old grade 8 graduate

Some readers...*coughmomcough* have suggested that I shouldn't share my challenges and failures with you (personally, I think that success in the face of adversity is a tale worth telling, but whatever) so I'll spare you the tail of the purple fondant.  Needless to say, the recipient of the cake was quite happy and  I was pleased with how much the cake (unintentionally) ended up matching her beautiful purple dress!  I hope someone snaps a picture of her in her dress next to the cake.
