I was asked to recreate a previous cake I made in more masculine colors since it was for a man. This is what I came up with. Gumpaste flowers and foliage (twisted sticks are real sticks - it's all bound together with floral tape and inserted in a bubble tea straw). MMF top and ribbons with BC sides. I took the paper towel bits out of the bows for the photo (dumb) so they sank for the pic. I should've just left 'em in...you guys would've understood (haha!). This cake was for a private party and ordered by their chef so he adjusted the sticks to be upright once he got to their house and removed the paper towels. I had to rush to finish this cake (was a rush order) so I just didn't have the time to correct some minor defects (ugh...that scroll work!). I almost didn't post this pic but - hey, it could inspire someone so here it is! Thanks for looking ya'll!
