Stargazer Lillies

Some of the lillies were made of choc. and some with fondant. It was so humid and the fondant wasn't holding it's shape, so I made some with choc. and they did much better. The cake is iced in vanilla carmel buttercream, and had a choc ribbon at the base of both cakes. There were also edible pearls going down the front of the top cake but you can't see them. I learned to use less real butter in my icing on humid days. The cake was melting away!!

Bridal Shower. Thank you your comments mean a lot. I was crazed from this cake. It was so humid I had to scrape all the original decorations off and start all over.

The lines on the leaves I drew, it wasn't from the cake melting!

I thought the point of this site was to help each other not be evil!!!

Wow, I have never seen a negative comment on this site before. The person who said that is probably just jealous of your talent. I love the color of the top cake, how did you do it?

Thank you very much for your kind words. I used regular buttercream icing and refridgerated it for about 30 min. (until set). Then I put brown gel food coloring and copper luster dust in a bowl and watered it down. I then used a sponge and dotted the color on. Again thank you. :)
