Mother's Day Cake Ideas And Help!?!?!
Decorating By Heatherly30 Updated 12 May 2007 , 2:59am by ladybug03
I am limited in my abilities to decorate, so I need some ideas for a Mother's Day cake that are not too advanced. I have taken Wilton Course 1, and part of Course 2. I would like some flowers on the cake, but nothing too difficult.
Which brings me to another question. I'm not a big fan of royal icing. Can I make the Course 2 flowers with bc? If so, do I need to do something different? Just make them, let them stiffen and then place them on? Also, is that the "drop flower" technique?
I am making the White Almond Sour Cream cake with choc raspberry creamer and bc icing. Any ideas on simple yet elegant looking decor would be great!
BC flowers would be perfect 
All I ever do is make them and put them on a cookie sheet then freeze them till I want them on the cake. It makes it much easier to get them where you want them on a cake when they are frozen.
Drop flowers are made with, surprisingly enough, drop flower tips. You can go to Wilton's site and see which tips they have for drop flowers. Here's the link:

Basically you are just piping the flowers directly on the cake where you want them. I have seen it done with roses but I am not that good so I can't do it.
