Peonies And Lace Wedding Cake
This was a SECOND GENERATION wedding cake! A very special request from the bride - having made her parent's wedding cake. Peonies and flower fillers are made from flower paste. I used modelling paste fro pearl borders. The bride asked for peonies, rather than the traditional roses! I had never made peonies before - therefore acquired a new skill for the project, following lots of practice!!!
