Hi Everyone,
I have been decorating cakes for almost a year now and I'm still not liking how my flower vines look!! I really panick when I know that I have a full size sheet cake to make and they only want flowers on it! Is there a good dvd, book, or anything that helps in placing and drawing vines for floral arrangements on cakes?? I'll try and post some pictures of cakes I've done for your suggestions. I'm open for any comments good or bad!!

Your vines look beautiful, what don't you like about them?

I just uploaded another picture to my photos I don' think the attachement I was trying to do worked. I just don't think my vines look realistic. I think they kind of look like I just plopped them on the cake without any direction!!
I'm really bad at making them look good if I need to place them around a design or just fill blank spots.

I think they look quite good! Really!

My only suggestion for the yellow rose cake would be either to have more roses or shorter vines. The vines detract a little from the flowers. However, this is a nit-picky criticism. Had I just looked at the cake with an uncritical eye, I would have seen beautiful vines!

Don't be too hard on yourself.
