How would you go about creating the flowers on the bottom layer of the cake? Do you think its fondant or buttercream?
my best guess is both — the flowers look like a mold due to the depth — perhaps they were cut out of a larger mold like a border bold or something because some of the smaller shapes look interesting — flowers probably scrolls for sure but maybe is part of a larger piece — the dots look piped —
but the same look could be done by hand too
Yes i was just looking at molds . And would you happen to know what type of flowers those are that go through and around the side of the cake? Orchid mybe?
Wilton discontinued making that mold. What do you guys think about this one?
Thank-you thats what i was thinking I'm just going to order that one ! Here is the picture blown up for you if it helps.
rose of sharon-ish hibiscus-y idk i’m not good at naming them but I can duplicate —
To me the flower look like fabric silk flowers
I found a version of the Wilton mould (sorry for the British spelling!) on Amazon for $6.99 plus $0.23 shipping
listed under-Fondant and Gum Paste Silicone Mold Baroque Rose Flower Cake Decorating Embossing Mould
Yes Thank you. I found those too but i need them before the date they are available for delivery
well yeah I agree they are silk I just don’t know the name of that flower
would be pretty in wafer paper too

If this mold has been discontinued, it has been only recently. Our Michaels always carries it and it was available the last time I was there.
I cannot tell what the flowers are supposed to be, but agree they are silk. If they were made in gum paste, they would be called fantasy flowers. Yes, they would be pretty in wafer paper.
O.k.......I went to Michael's and there is nothing like those in the store. I also went (against my serious vow to never darkent their door again) to JoAnn;s - nothing like those there either.
Please don't take this wrong......I do NOT mean to be rude or sarcastic .......but.......why do you feel you need to duplicate those flowers or any flowers/design exactly? After studying the picture and what was in the stores those look more to me to be a very cheap $ store type spray of fabric (I won't even call them silk) flowers. Make a nice waferpaper hybiscus type as K8 mentions and be done w/ith.
It doesn't have to be exactly i was just curious as to what kind of flower that was so I can try to recreate the look. Then you had mentioned they may be at Michaels so thought it wouldn't hurt to look thought about using something edible to recreate look like suggested .i just like to get different opinions sometimes because it often helps spark ideas and i sometimes even learn something new from you all
