does anyone know where i can find a tutorial on this, or maybe a book that i can purchase that has it. i know it's in the cake decorating magazine in one of their past issues, but it will take at least a month or so before i can get it, and i'll be gone by then. it sort of looks like stitch work. thanks in advance!!! 
When I saw this, it reminded me of one that Moydear77 did...here is the link

The technique is probably similar and she is great to help.

yes!!! that's the technique! thanks...your a gem! now...we can i find the books or tutorial??? 
I'm having a hard time seeing the details, but are the flowers satin stitched like the letters and leaves in the picture below? Toba Garrett gives great instructions for satin stitching in her "Professional Cake Decorating" book. BTW, the picture is one of Toba Garrett's cakes (from her website).
The only other idea I have is to email the folks at the magazine and see if they can tell you who wrote the article in question. That person might have a website that could help you out (or you could get lucky and it turns out to be a CC member!).

Do you have Toba Garrett's books? Maybe you could get it at the library ...anyhow, I don't know how it would work on the side of a cake but you do the outline of the design in colour flow...when it is dry, you go over the dried icing which is sort of puffy looking with back and forth motions with a small round tip...
You'd have to make the flower separate from the cake and then stick it on afterwards I should imagine...sorry I can't be of more help..
I think this is what you are looking for

It is painted and raised flower on fondant and the results are Amazing and it looks really simple to do

I had to look twice to see where the fondant ended and fabric began! Beautiful! That flower is amazing, how did you do it?

The flower is extruded through a clay gun--The ten hours. Each strand of fondant is layed one on top of a another to get the look of embroidery. The leaves are extruded fondant too!
