Okay, some of you might remember my "saga" with making a cake with a Holland theme. First it was going to be a cake with gumpaste tulips, then a windmill cake, and I finally settled on clogs. The tulips were out of the running because I suck at gumpaste molding apparently. I had to scratch the windmill idea (my favorite) because I couldn't figure out how I would assemble it.
Last night I was at a book sale, and found a novelty cake book from like, 1975-1980. I was flipping through it while I was waiting in line to pay, and lo and behold....a windmill cake! Grrrrrr! Where was this book 2 weeks ago?!?!?
Oh well....
i loved ur clogs though, they were great! 
Isn't that always the way it happens? Well, at least you could try it now just for fun... or next time you need to do a Dutch themed cake.
Not sure how often you would need to make tulips but I have a picture of BC tulips that I found somewhere that you could try next time instead of gumpaste. Sorry, I JUST deleted the bookmark this morning & I don't remember the name of the website! I saved it because I want to try & figure out how to make them!
swoboda...if you figure those tulips out please post indtructions!! Those are gorgeous.
MeghanB I feel your pain. I just bought gumpaste because I found a small book at a yard sale & I cant get the hang of them either. I figured out roses and calla lilies on my own, but those were the easy one. The others well lets just say I wont be posting pics anytime soon. lol

In a Nicholas Lodge DVD and I he does similar tulips. Because of mom's day and a lot of shenanagans with a big boys poker party my DH is having tonight I can't look at it 'till later. He uses a lot of patchwork cutters though. I am prone to forgetting, because of quadruple tasking please don't be shy PM. me early next week if you don't see a post. Thanx
The cake that Swoboda posted is from www.jacquespastries.com. I remember it because I love that cake. But I have not idea how to do the tulips. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks,
Cindy
