I made this cake for my MIL's birthday. Top tier is a dummy (we didn't need that much cake). Bottom tier is carrot cake. Covered in fondant with gumpaste roses, tulips, daphne, sweat pea and freesias. Flowers took about two weeks to make (mostly at night after children were in bed). Cake design inspired by Ron Ben-Israel.
Wow! Your flowers are awesome!
Absolutely fantastic! Did you use certain books for the exquisite flowers?
Simply beautiful, love all the flowers.
Gorgeous! Looks like you picked all the flowers from your garden.
Very beautiful! They look so real! I hope I can get that good some day!
