Yellow ranunculus flowers:
The flower prep so far without the peonies and freesia:
Getting ready to dust the leaves:
Dusted hydrangea leaves:
Glazed hydrangea, peony and gardenia leaves:
Styrofoam order from last week...and somewhere in there are the specific tiers I decided to use for my display cake:
...and they have already been covered with fondant, and are ready to be stacked and decorated with the final elements of my design! I'm keeping things pretty simple to balance the tiers and the flowers...and I'm looking forward to having it all come together!
More photos coming soon...thanks for stopping by!

Spectacular flowers! Can I ask you how do you glaze the leaves? Thanks!
podium potential...
you rock!
:)
Thanks so much everyone!
@Laura - I use Confectioner's Glaze on them once they are dry and dusted. Steaming produces a soft sheen, but the glaze is great for a real glossy effect!
@Michael - it is sharing only at the ICES convention...no competition! But thank you for the vote of confidence! : )
