Hi all,

I wondered if anyone knew how the flowers were attached to the cake below

They seem to be floating somehow and i wondered if anyone knows how this was done or has done something like this before?

I would also love to know what the large whispy spirals are...i can't seem to find them anywhere!

Someone else asked a question about this cake a few weeks ago, several people suggested that the black spirals were bear grass.
The flowers seem to be attached in several small wired sprays. I have attached sprays like this by making a hairpin shape out a heavy gauge wire like a twenty or twenty two and use it to pin the spray into a drinking straw inserted into the cake. if you do it behind the flowers it is invisible.

It looks like they're just stuck into the cake. If they're on wires you can dip the wires into melted chocolate to cover them then put them into the cake.

The white things are just wire.
