Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what these flowers are and where I could possibly look for directions to make them?
Thanks!
I believe those are just Gerbera Daisies and YouTube would be best. If your talking about the flower pot picture.
I was having the same issues. I finally gave up!
great idea to post in gallery! Here it is!

The flowers are tiny so I'm not sure how to make them - do I need special cutters? Any advice would help.
TIA!
Can't see it. This is what I get:
Oops! Not Found
The request was a valid request, but the server is refusing to respond to it.
If this doesn't work, I officially give up.
Last ditch attempt:

Please let me know if this works...
Thanks!

What a pretty garden cake! There are different flowers, which ones are you wanting to make?
I agree - I would like to make them all! My daughter wants this for her birthday cake. Any suggestions would help! I haven't made a lot of flowers, so I'm ready for a new challenge... They are pretty small - do I need special cutters? I have the wilton set (which I've had for several yrs and haven't tried yet).
gscout73 is right - that is a lovely little cake. You will have fun doing that.
From a close look, the yellow/green center, blue, pink on top left corner, and front left of the grouping look like plunger cutters. Not sure if the links will work, but there is a "Wilton Floral Garland Cutter Ejector set". Is that the set you already have: This is Amazon's link, but would be pretty reasonable at your local craft store with a coupon. http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Floral-Garland-Cutter-Ejector/dp/B0000VMBL0 When you make them just, punch into the fondant, then use the plunger to eject the flower shape. If you do it on one of the flower forming sponges, you can press a bit into the foam to make a little indent to shape the cup. Use petal dust or similar for the center, and dot a tiny bit of icing. They've used different colors and slightly different sizes to give variety. If the plungers aren't available, any little blossom cutter shape will do. Just need to form into the little cups.
The yellow in the right of the grouping, plus the red ones in little pots look like tiny rolled roses. They are quick and fun to make from a little strip of fondant rolled and pinched at the bottom. Check out tutorials for rolled roses and "miniature-ize" for this cake.
The pale pink look like a version of Toba Garrett's "filler flowers". I have her book "The Well Decorated Cake" and she forms them by making little elongated balls of fondant and snips the top to create four or five petals. Spread them out and press to make petals. She does them on wires, but can easily do without for this application. I found a link online I'll try and paste it but if id doesn't work, it's easily found by googling Toba Garrett Filler Flowers.https://books.google.com/books?id=f9Kq4ajgGogC&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq=toba+garrett+filler+flowers&source=bl&ots=YuIevtmfwx&sig=mbmZsj6Yb9261kf21jtjl7FGWHk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6WhkVaLyB6y1sQSAqoHICQ&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=toba%20garrett%20filler%20flowers&f=false
The greenish ones in the grouping look like a variation on those - just a free-form fantasy flowers.
Grass and some of the leaves look piped with frosting, with some fondant leaves cut out.
It looks like a fun cake to do - have fun!
ok, not sure what happened, but PattyT has better info anyways lol!! Post your finished cake!
