Hello

I'd like to know the name of the flower on top of that cake , its nice , I'd like to give it a try , any tips are appreciated

Just looks like a rose to me.
 

really is it a rose ??

I'd say it was a rose, too. Just without the top edges of the petals curled back like you see on a lot of roses. But I'd definitely do it with a rose cutter, either the 5-petal kind or the one that cuts individual petals.

if the 5 petal cutter was used ,what about the outer petals ?? are they 5 petal cutter in that size ? or big round curtter ??

thanks alot ladies , you are very helpful

Looks like a cross between a rose and a gardenia.

AHandymama i think ts mix of both , as u said

You could do the innermost petals with a 5-petal cutter (or with a cutter that cuts individual petals, I'm just partial to the 5-petal one) and do the outside petals with a larger single-petal cutter. I think the main difference between this flower and a more traditional rose is the way the edges of the petals are shaped - more gently waved than curled back. I'd say that that's what makes it look like a cross between a rose and a gardenia, too. Best of luck with this, by the way. It's a very pretty flower.

Yeah, my first thought was gardenia, because the center is down further inside the outer petals, but I agree with everyone else; you could make it with the 5 petal cutter.

Looks like a gardenia, the center seems to be spiral. Here's an image of a real one http://www.monrovia.com/plant-catalog/plants/1301/everblooming-gardenia.php
