I did send a PM to the poster, but i don't think she's "active" anymore. ![]()
I know i could use the cutter for the Daisy part, but what about the scrolls? Is there maybe some easy little cheat way to do that? maybe a transfer or stamp or something? my freehand ability SUCKS and i know there is no way i could manage to get them all spaced properly.

Wilton makes a press set that has a scroll in it. I have it and used it on my gold anniversary cake in my photos. I used a star tip, but you could just as easilt use a small round to get the smoother look.

It's not the easist way, but if none of the Wilton's press set suits your needs, have someone draw out your design on parchment paper. Have them draw it at least 3 times, so you have something to help you with your spacing. Then you hold your paper up to your cake. Pick the scroll on the far left and poke a toothpick in it to hold. Pick the scroll on the far right and stick a toothpick in it to hold. Then use one toothpick and go around poking little "marker" holes around, maybe every 1/4-1/2 in, depending on the intricacy of your design, following your pattern. This will give you a nice shape to follow, and help with your spacing. Make sure to add some piping gel to give your icing some elasticity. If you buy the large silver Wilton's cake boards (14", I think), they come with a very nice scroll pattern to trace.
