AI've been asked to make this cake for a friends wedding. Does anyone know what the flower is called and if there is an example on how to make it online? Also, does anyone know where I can get a rabbit mould similar to this? X[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3243815/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

Thanks

Yep, I believe it's a peony. I think they've used a frilled peony cutter, like these ones http://www.celcrafts.com/products-page/metal-cutters-mini-micro-midi-others/peony-petal-cutters/

There's heaps of tutorials online for making peonies. 

 

And the rabbit looks to me like it may have been hand moulded.

AYou can use sps, the are plates and pillars that lock into place. You can leave space between tier for your flowers or use styrafoam seperators.

What do you need help with exactly? The best advice is to make sure everything is perfectly level, also I'd measure or weigh the amount of BC between each layer so they are all consistent.

AThanks so much. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I spaced it out over two evenings but it was really fun to make. X

Did you do last petals on wires? Last 3 rows of petals on my flower were on wires. It took me 3 hours (spaced out in 3 days) to do my flower.
