....tell me where I can get a custom made one! Or if anyone on CC makes them to sell! I need three for a wedding cake in June that I am doing and I can't find anyplace online that makes them custom. I have found ones similar to what I want but I need chocolate leaves! If anyone can help, I know it's you guys!
Thanks in advance,
Heather
Yeah, I checked those but I need a specific colors and flowers so I was hoping to find someone that could customize one for me.
Thank you though!

Hi,
Search for Sugar Flowers and a few sites will come up. They can be purchased white (plain) and then you can dust them with Petal dust.
A low cost dusting idea is to get chalk pastels from the craft shoppe, shave them down to dust and apply with a paintbrush.
Located in California, I make sugar flowers by hand, (I'm in the middle of cherry blossoms for a wedding cake right now) but they are VERY time consuming. It's hard to compete with these imported ones that are made overseas. They are severly UNDER priced, a literal steal when the alternative is making them yourself. The drawback is that they are chunky looking and not as realistic as some clients are expecting.
My work is needed with hard to find or specific flowers. Such as California poppies or a true to life cherry blossom. And hydrangeas ( a very requested wedding flower) The live ones can not be placed on a cake because they are poisonous.
That's where my sugar flowers come in. They last indefinately too.
It sounds like you need a custom job as no one sells chocolate leaves as part of the topper. You could order individual flowers, make your own chocolate leaves and wire it all yourself.
My mentor is Scott Clarke Wooley from New York City. He does amazing work. It is worth e-searching for his work.
Have Fun,
Fia
