It never ceases to amaze me that someone wants to know *exactly* what flower, technique, etc is found in a picture so they can duplicate it.
Is it really *that* important? The flowers on top don't look to me like either peonies nor a ranunculus. Ranunculus are much more flat; peonies can be more frilly but it doesn't matter so much.
I's say they are an old fashion rose.
Sooooooo now OP you have a choice. Will the client really know the difference? No matter which one you choose, the cake will be very pretty.
As for the cross I say it's a non-edible piece of jewelry: try using degrees(sp?) or just pipe dots or stars with a small tip and you will have the same look but it will be *your* creation and I'm sure pretty enough to please your client!
Kinda looks like a mashup of ranunculus and tulips...many petals like ranunculus, but longer petals like tulips

Lucky! I wish I could grow ranunculus here, but it's way too hot...I miss our non-tropical plants!
