What was your inspiration?

Made this display cake for my upcoming bridal show. This is a super easy design to copy using the pedal technique of applying icing. I made the flowers out of gumpaste. I used royal icing to cover this dummy cake but buttercream would be used on a real cake. Thanks for looking! Lisa :)

Thank you! This is a display cake I made for today's bridal show so it is styrofoam underneath the royal icing. However, the sizes are 5", 7", 9", & 12" thanks for looking!

I am just starting out and love your flowers. can you tell me how long the flowers will keep for?

If you keep the flowers out of heat and the sun, they will last for years! Take the flowers that are on the this cake - they are well over 1 year old. I pulled them off a display from last year and dusted color on them (they were just all white) for this year. That said, I would never use anything but fresh, clean flowers made to order on a real cake order! Hope that helps! Lisa

How do you do the pedal technique

I'm sorry - I had a typo - It's petal technique - not pedal - guess I should proof read a little better! :) It's easy to do. After you crumb coat, use a large round tip - #12 - and make a vertical line going up the side of the cake, pipe a row of dots. Then taking your spatula, press into each dot and pull to the side. Do this all the way down the row and when you are done, pipe another row of dots and so on. The last row can be tricky so be careful when you are pulling it to not run into the first row. Lisa :)
