Quilled Snowflakes
Entry into a local sugarcraft competition here in Dublin/Ireland, which won 2nd prize. The quilled snowflakes are made from fondant and Squires florist paste 1:3. The Northpole is all sugarpaste as well except the globe which is made from Isomalt (I made a mould with silly putty from one of my kids marbels) and the wire on the sign. For the knit effect on the board you can find a tutorial link to a Russian website on my facebook page www.facebook.com/Splendor.Cakes.

An Homage 'in Freesia'
30th Anniversary cake. An homage to the original wedding cake which had 3 iced tiers and a small silver jug filled with real freesias on the top tier. This cake was truely a labour of love and I learned a lot about gumpaste flowers. All flowers were pulled without the use of any cutters. The tutorial for the freesias came from http://www.duskyroseveiners.co.uk/page_861446.html The border is piped with royal icing
