Got me wondering if you can buy trees from a cake decorating supply place that were Blossom Trees? Or if anyone has any tips etc... on how to make a Spring type tree?
Reason being my youngest DD Heather wants to have a My LIttle Pony theme Picnic Birthday.
It always seems to have Trees in bloom in ponyville so would love something like that to really set the scene on her cake.

The tree in the middle of the photo looks like it was made with a small styrofoam ball. They most likely used royal icing for the leaves. The base might with a wire frame covered with gumpaste or fondant. I don't think it would be too hard to do.
Maybe someone else can offer more details.

Jane Asher's trees are edible as are 99% of stuff on her cakes (and I should hope so too for those prices lol!). I would think that you could just follow the instructions in the article section about making christmas trees, but use the 352 tip to make leaf shapes on the cones and then add tiny blossoms made with a plunger cutter. You could always use wafer cups for more rounded bush like plants. Hope that helps!
To me it looks like the evergreens were made on sugar cones.
I agree with Cindy6250. Another option would be to "paint" the trees on the sides of the cake. That's just a thought really don't know what your design is.
Since, I'm taking oil painting classs to learn to paint on cakes....well....that is currently my focus! LOLL In fact when I saw the pink trees the first thing I thought was "Oh! you could do that with magenta luster dust, thinned with lemon extract!" I just "learned" trees last week!
Good Luck! Post a pic!

Thanks all for your tips!
Wow the painting sounds like fun would love to see some of your work.
Got thinking today when the kids were watching Thomas the train... what about Trees that they would use when doing model train sets?
Did some looking and found these

There is no end to the diffrent kinds of ornamental,fruit trees etc....
One of BIL's, and 2 of my nephews are tinto model trains so going to ask them about it!
Any Ideas on how I would go about getting the Lawn to look like she did?
Thanks all for your help.

The lawn looks like sponge painting on fondant. I think you could get the same effect on a crusted buttercream, too.
Thin a gel/paste color with some clear alcohol or an alcohol based extract and dab with a new sponge or wadded up paper towel.
