I need help identifying these flowers please! I think the blue flowers are peonies and the yellow flowers look like cabbage roses and rose buds. If you know what these flowers are please tell me! Thank you!

Those flowers look like they might be either fondant or gum paste. I have never made them but here is a video of someone making some from buttercream. Buttercream must be thick enough so flower will not droop and most people freeze them on little squares of wax paper on cookie sheet for about 10-15 minutes before putting them on cake.

Thank you! I know that they're made from either gumpaste or fondant. My problem was i didn't know what type of flowers they were. So I went to a florist and she could tell me right off the bat what they were! The blue ones are carnations and the yellow ones are spray roses. Thank you for your help and the link!

I sure don't think those blue ones are carnations! :(   I think your 1st guess was right on......peonies and the roses could be cabbage......the designer took some artistic lissons :)
