Can anyone offer suggestions on how to make this cake? How do you think the sides are done? How do you make these flowers? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

TIA,

It looks like those are flat pieces of Fondant or White Modeling Chocolate dyed green.
If I was making this I would dye 2 or 3 shades of green then roll out a slab of each color. Then take a ruler and cut them so the exact height or just a little taller then what your cake is. I would say 1/2 inch strips would be close or you could do 3/4 inch too, which ever your preference would be. Once you have a bunch of them cut just pick them up and start laying them right up to your buttercream or if its going on top of fondant just wet the underside a little so they stick.

As for the sugar flowers, I rarely make mine so I dont know the best advice to give. Those look like Daffadils so I would look for that cutter and use a ball tool and a piece of foam to curl the edges of your gumpaste like that then take more of the white gumpaste and roll a thin about to create the circle in the center. When dry pain the yellow center.

Ok i have this book! The flowers are small stephanotis and the flower stems are 3 various shades of green. If you need more info PM me. HTH!
