Thanks it took me some time because the tulip's wouldn't stay on the side of the cake as they are in the wilton cake, but I did find the flowers easy to make. I hand painted each one because I don't like the way gumpaste looks when the colour is mixed into it. Hand painting makes them much softer I think. My daughter loved the cake and so did everyone at the party. The tulips are easier to make than roses and the leafs were just plan fun to make.
what a stunning cake. i love the bold colors, the non-traditional icing technique. beautiful.
This cake is beautiful!! Tulips are my fav flower! You did such a great job!! Thanks for sharing!!! 
This cake is exquisite. I too would like to know how you made the flowers as well as painting them. That icing technique is a wow factor for me!!! How do you do it? 
Beautiful Cake! I love everything, but especially the icing technique! How did you do it? Are the instructions on the wilton site?
What a gorgeous cake!! How did you make the tulips -- gumpaste?
the instructions are from the wilton beautiful gumpaste flowers book. The icing technique is just using the small straight blade for icing. I just did upward strokes from bottom to top. This is a great way to do a cake if you can't get your icing smooth but it looks very elegant. And the technique is something I just started doing on my own. Never saw this on any cake so that is why I like doing it. Thanks for all the great comment's
on my cake.
