Hi CC!
Was wondering if anyone knew what type of flower is on this cake? My sister fell in love with it and wants me to make them for her wedding cake. I would ask the original designer but she got the picture from Brides.com and unfortunately didn't say on this one who created it. It looks like a gerber daisy but not sure...I am not educated at all with flowers! Please help! Thanks!
They look like simplified and stylized gerbera daisies to me.

The large look like gerberas. They usually have two layers and it looks like they sort of cupped the inner layer a little. Not like a real gerbera, but who cares? Also looked like some of the medium flowers were shasta daisies. The small ones might even be a forget-me-not. All in ivory with the gold dust, it is just the combination of the different sizes and several styles that creates so much interest. If you have trouble with a style, a substitution would probably not even be noticed.
Yep, like Michele said...a lot of folks would call that a fantasy flower...not exactly a daisy, but you get the idea. By the way, don't worry about not being a flower maven; sometimes you want flowers that are spot on like the real thing and sometimes you want a variation that just looks cool!
