Alright, I FINALLY got my Sunflower Sugar Art Dogwood cutter and mold. I have been sitting happily making blossoms. My dear mother came over and told me I had them upside down. I have searched on Google images, and now I am really confused. Do the petals turn up (as in a cup) or turn down??? Pleeezzzzz help!!!

they cup up when first blooming then they fan out but the edges still cup up and sometimes the very tips flip backwards

hmmm, so i should put the centers on the side with the cup up right? Thank you for the botanical info. Don't you just long for spring???

yes.

here is a very pretty example of dogwood cake:

you have NO idea how much I long for spring!!!!! I am so NOT a winter person, why I live up north is beyond me....it must be love. and that is all I have to say about that.

LOL!! Isn't it funny what we will do for love?? Thanks for all the help. I love that website. I don't care for the heat of summer, but I love the rebirth of spring. Have a great cake day.
