One of the biggest turns looked like this:
And the amount of time involved was staggering! There is nothing quite like moving, right? But all is finally settled and in place, and I am grateful to have time to create again!
I wanted to create a design that was fresh and modern, and I actually found these before I drew my sketch:
And I knew I wanted to use some of these:
This is the final result...two tiers covered with chocolate fondant, and decorated with over-sized sugar peonies and a scattering of leaves. Grosgrain ribbons finish the base of the tiers:
Thank you for stopping by!

I just love this cake! And you're making me feel very nervous with your numbered boxes, I didnt even think of doing that! We'll just have lots of surprises at the other end, I think!

Dear Jacqueline, your work of art is really gorgeous and I am so fond of your flowers that I
ReplyDeleteI would like to trying doing them.
How about Hydrangea? Here in Italy we have not so many suppliers for this kind of art. Would you let me know how to get your Hydrangea cutters and veiners set? I bought one from Sunflower sugar art however it not the same!
Any suggestion/help is most welcome! Many many compliments
Arianna - Rome
I'm glad you are all settled at your new place. Look forward to your upcoming posts!
ReplyDeleteAs always a neat & beautiful job! What cutters do you use for the oversized peonies?
ReplyDeleteSweet regards, Bianka
This is SO pretty - I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much!!
ReplyDelete@Michael - nope...a Scorpio...but a very organized one!
@Jenny - I'm afraid we have now been asked if we offer moving services! : ) I'm sure yours will go well!
@Tina - would love to get over to Australia to teach!! Any suggestions where I should look into a contact?
Arianna - I bought my Sunflower Sugar Art hydrangea cutter and veiner from Scott Woolley's site. His veiner is flat and you press it into the paste, rather than two pieces that press the petal into a particular shape. The cutter should be the same (two sizes). Email me if you have any questions - would be happy to help!!
@Bianka - I mix up several peony sets (Sunflower Sugar Art and CelCakes) and also use rose petal cutters for the outer petals.
