I have a bride (actualy it is the mother of the groom...and she is a jem 
) who wants gum paste bird of paradise, red ginger, and orchids on the top of there wedding cake. I can make the orhcids, but I have no idea how or where I can even buy the rest! The wedding is in Sept and she still hasn't put a deposit down! Any ideas? Thanks Donna
i don't know what red ginger is but i was thinking the large thin leaf cutter in the gumpaste kit could be modified to make a bird of paradise. i found this website that might help you if decide to make one yourself. ifhttp://www.teachartathome.com/BirdofParadisePastel.html
I find Birds of paradise one of the more time consuming flowers, especially if you want them to look realistic. You would have to order the cutter set and supplies to make them. If you want some really beautiful gumpaste flowers you should check out Stewart Feldman's website, he is a member of CC and does wonderful work. Next thought would be to buy silk from Michaels. Either way I would make sure she paid for the flowers in advance, including tax and shipping fees. Here is a link to Stewarts flowers, click on each thumbnail to see each flowers detail.
