Bauhinia
Everything was cut freehand since I don't have the cutters so I'm not sure how accurate the size of the flower petals are. Used a corn husk to vein the flower petals and a cocktail stick for the leaves. Broke one of the petals while putting it together so decided to make it look like insects got to it by using a red hot wire.

Tiramisu Cake
Wanted to try the pallet knife technique but since I don't have any pallet knifes tried it with an offset spatula. Didn't come out all that great. Doesn't really matter because it is just for my daughter to take to her friend's get together. They really don't care about the decoration. Cake is drizzled with espresso syrup, filled with mascarpone filling & frosted with cream cheese cooked frosting. Use a wafer paper flower that I had made for practice.

Gumpaste Geraniums
Decided to try making Geraniums using a small 5 petal cutter & adapting it to look like Geranium petals. The leaves were cut freehand. Since not using it on a cake, the "vase" is a paper coffee cup that I painted to look like a vase & glued a styrofoam ball at the bottom to stick the wires into. Looks nice in my china cabinet but I'm running out of room in there.

Tania & Nate's Wedding Cake
This is my first (and probably only) wedding cake. It was a gift for the bride (my daughter's best friend) & groom. Decorated with a gumpaste vase & gumpaste cherry blossoms. Although the fondant did not want to cooperate in the heat, I think I managed to pull it off in the end.

Sweet Peas, Lily Of The Valley, Forsythia
Playing with some leftover gumpaste. Only flowers made with cutters was the sweet peas since Wilton cutters were on sale at Michael’s for only .79. lol A big thank you to Christine (Lavande cake Boutique) for the wonderful tutorial on lily of the valley. Although not quite as good as hers, I was pretty happy with the result.
