Decorating By KHalstead Updated 19 Jun 2009 , 4:16pm by all4cake
Check out the attached photo below, it's of a cake I need to make in 2 weeks and I need to know what kind of flower it has on it. Does anyone know??? She wants a red flower on the cake, however she likes the look of these only she wants them red. I have had no look (after endless hours and weeks of searching online for something similar).
They look like they're decent sized maybe 2-3" i really need help!
I don't know my flowers
Looks like two different size dogwood flowers placed small on top of large to make a very pretty flower.
I think I'd describe that one as a fantasy flower 
That's what you call something that's pretty but doesn't really occur in nature
Anyhow, I think you could make it with a 5 petal cutter, just cut two of it and ruffle the edges, then stack with the petals turned so they cover the edges of the petals on the lower one. Dry it in a bowl or a jumbo muffin tin so the edges curl up a little bit.
I have changed my mind I think it is an Anemone also.
Looks like a magnolia to me.

What kind of flower does the Bride think it is? Is she wanting the flowers on cake to match some flower in her bouquet? If not I would make up a few different flowers, and let her pick out the one she likes the best. I would make a bet if the color is right, then the flower will be okay also regardless of what it actually is in the picture.
Anemonies and poppies are nearly identical, color is the primary difference. It is NOT a magnolia, being from the south I can say that with certainty. I also vote fantasy but in the anemonie family
Yes I am from the South as well. Grew up in NC and Ga. and am still there. There are more than one species of Magnolia. Look at my link. I think it looks just like the flower.
I would say anemonies were similar to clematis in that there is a vast variety of them...some of them looking like each of the flowers mentioned.
When I suggested anemone, it was more for the sake of a cutter selection than to identify the exact flower...the image is difficult for me to see enough details...
TexasRose is right on when she said fantasy flower....find a cutter that'll work...the dogwood has that indention in the petals like the ones in the image seem to have...I've never looked for a fantasy flower cutter...but I'm sure, if one can be made, it is available somewhere...globalsugarart.com ?
or work with the 5 petal rose cutter and cut a v shape out of the end of each petal and go from there....
oh shoot!!! I didn't get an email saying that I had a response and went ahead and ordered white magnolias and plan to spray them red (hope it works).....I think it's totally an anemone....you guys rock, I wished I had only seen the responses before I spent the 50.00 minimum at cake deco....they had anemone too....and in RED! aackk

Here's the flowers I ordered

they are pretty similar I guess!
Well, they look very much alike from their selection (I'm sure the center of the magnolias have that thang that sticks up in the middle...looks like the only possible difference to me)...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the magnolias are like 7 bucks cheaper! With that kind of incentive, I'd say those bad boys on that cake are most definitely magnolias (haha...if the cost were the same, I'd stick with anemones...lol)
lol you're funny!!! i was thinking the same thing since I only need three of them puppies! Of course it IS for my BEST friend in the whole world's wedding. To tell you the truth i didn't even know they had the anemones and if they didn't have that stinkin 50.00 minimum I'd probably just go ahead and order them too!
