Here are a few photos of the flowers when I first made them, but had not yet started the dusting and coloring process:
I wanted to add a little bit of blue, as this topper was designed to be used on the top tier of a large wedding cake, and a subtle "Something Blue" was an important element. A few small bouquets of pale blue hydrangea worked perfectly.
A look from the front of the bouquet - on a piece of Styrofoam for a better photo:
The flowers from the top of the bouquet:
Close-up of some of the flowers...and the topper is on a 6" Styrofoam round so I can get a good feel for how the final top tier might look:
Thank you for stopping by!

Very very beautiful, they are just perfect !!! You do excellent work. Do you have a tutorial on how you do those amazing peony's ? I've always wanted to try them but am not sure where to start.

Thank you so much everyone for your wonderful comments! I appreciate it!
**Kat - I'm sorry, I don't have a peony tutorial at this time, but am working on a possible book, or DVD or web-tutorial - I get a lot of requests for peony "help"...so it will be one of the first flowers I address. Thank you for your kind words, and for your patience too!
I am sooo blown away by your cakes, seriously to die for! All 3 here are total perfection..do you ship out of state? I guess thats hard to do as I am thinking of it.....
Hi Tina...thank you so much for your lovely comments!! I'm sorry I don't ship...the sugar flowers are much too fragile, so hand delivery is the only option right now. Would love to bring you a cake to celebrate your beautiful new home!! Jacqueline
