I'm having trouble adding fullness to my cakes by adding enough greenery. When do you put leaves on-- before or after adding flowers? I was taught to add them after but then I end up with not enough room between flowers to get my leaf tip in between without squishing flower petals. If I spread the flowers out more then they look sparse and I have to fill in with a ton of green. I know this is Mickey Mouse but will you share with me how you place flowers/leaves on your cakes?

Thanks!

I add my leaves after my flowers. I usually just put them in anywhere - sticking up or covering a little of the next flower etc.
