I've looked & looked & looked but cannot find anything that gives me a clue as to how to make this flower. http://tweetphoto.com/18529581
My first thought was using gumpaste or a fondant/tylose combo, cutting the petals out individually & building it, similar to how I build a loopy bow but I don't really like how my "glue" turns out when I make the bow. It never seems to hold well.
Anybody have any suggestions or is that the way to go?
As always, I appreciate any assistance!
TIA
Looks like piped royal icing to me, but I can't tell you which tip off hand.

It looks like a dahlia to me if that helps you search.
The idea of it being dried got me thinking--and I found a photo of it on a dried flower website. No name, bit it's definitely the same flower.

I really did wonder if it was silk or dried but I still need to recreate it from gumpaste b/c my client wants everything edible. I worked on it last night & it seems the best way to go about it, is to cut out each petal & build it up.
Thanks for your input!
I thought for sure it was royal icing and that tip that looks like a double 81 (it's some type of ruffle tip)...like #100 on this page but bigger http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E30E3AD-475A-BAC0-5B5F72A2563BB9A0&fid=3E332511-475A-BAC0-55A40A5591617A55 then, pinch the ends to a point.
I have a flower like this, it is a dried one I got at Michaels. So I'd question if it was a real/dried flower or if it is an edible one.
Maybe you can see if Michaels still have it so you can atleast have something sitting there to look at while you try to recreate it.

Oooh...excellent idea!!! Thank you. 
This cake was made by Papillon cakes in Toronto/Regina,Canada- i would think if you emailed them they would let you know if it was dried or created by them and perhaps give you some help as to how to go about making it??
I think it's dried myself- but never hurts to ask!

Hope that helps!!
KTB4, I could never find anything like it. I even reached out to the originator & they said it was a gumpaste flower & "an original" design. 
So I ended up cutting each petal individually & building it one at a time, one layer at time. If you look at my pics you'll see it on the black cake w/ silver ribbon. I wasn't 100% pleased & wished I could've rounded it out more but the client was happy. Message me if you have any more questions. Good luck!
I don't think it is... but wouldn't that be fun to make a flower out of oranges! 
Thanks Ladybug09 - I'll check out your pics for sure and I just may ask you for help. The bride is now looking at a cake topper so I may not need to worry about it.
Thank goodness she's a friend and paying me well because for all the changing her mind she's done I'm ready to smack her LOL
