AI'd firstly like to apologise if this cake I have defaced belongs to you. LOL
I've got a single tier cake to make, and I want to put flowers on a cake set out like the lines on the picture I have posted. Whats the best way to achieve this so it looks neat?
Thanks :)

Hi! I'm new to cake decorating, but here's an idea. Measure around the circumference of the cake and cut a strip of non-stick baking paper the same height and circumference of the cake. Fold it in half, then in half twice more. This will give you a rectangle of 8 layers. Unfold. You can then use a round cutter that fits to draw part of a circle on to one end of the rectangles on the strip. You can also just do it free hand if you're sure you can get it to be symmetrical. Refold the paper and then cut out the shape. Open out the template and wrap it around the cake, making sure that the bottom of the template is in line with the bottom of your cake and secure with pins (make sure to put the pin in a place that you will cover with a flower later on). Use a scriber or another pin to mark the curved outline on the cake and there you go. Now you can paste the flowers along the marked line. You can of course fold the paper more times if you want it to have a more compact pattern. Happy decorating!
