Sorry for posting to the forums with a picture, but I already posted the cake and didn't want to post two pictures of the same cake in the gallery..

I wanted to post a close up of the flower so I figured this would be okay.

I have found that making gumpaste flowers is my true cake love.. tedious at times, but when it all comes together.. just very fulfilling.

And critiques would be welcome too. I am always looking to improve.

This is simply stunning, I will be so happy when I reach the point where my flowers actually look real. I need to invest in the right tools, and have some more time on my schedule These are gorgeous and you should be very proud

Pic didn't show up for me.

all i can say is ....


WOW

may i one day be as good as you, lol

Simply spectacular. Please pm me and tell where or what you use for information on how to make the flower. (DVDs, etc.) Thanks

Absolutley beautiful. You did a great job. Please Pm me and let me know what cutters or molds that you used.

The pic wasn't showing up for me before either but it's there now.. who knows why..

Thanks everyone.. I used cutters made by Sunflower Sugar Art and just molded them by hand. It's not a hard flower.. just tedious.

I just commented on the cake in your gallery. Your peony is lovely, you did a wonderful job. All your work is beautiful Jeanne.

It's so lovely! You should be proud of such beautiful work!

Pic showed up this time. Very pretty. Looks perfect.

Oh my goodness that is SO beautiful! Peonies are my absolute favorite flower and yours is stunning!

Once again you've done a wonderful job! I love all the flowers!!

Beautiful! Good job!

Had to reload the the page (noticed that on several postings this morn), but I'm glad I did...terrific work! I also really like the sweet peas and it was a really well taken picture, ok really, I'll stop saying really now.

Thank you all so much... really..

Defintely.. I had never made a peony before the other day. Do you have the cutters? The magnolia is pretty easy really.. nothing too ruffled or involved.

You cake with the peony is beautiful...was admiring it earlier today.

Your flower is just beautiful. I find myself taking my camera with me on vacations so that I can snap pictures of flowers that I especially like. I save flower catalogs also which help in getting the shapes and colors I want. Wonderful job!!!

LOL.. I do the same thing lilybird.. I love taking pictures of plants and things like that and I find that when we come back from vacation I have more pictures of random nature shots than my family..

It's a beautiful arrangement. I love the colors. Great job!
