My first attempt at orchids

My first attempt at sugar orchids

My first attempt at sugar orchids

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Exotic Sugar Orchids »

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Other

Style: Formal / Bridal


Materials

Having studied many photographs of orchids I have come to realise they come in so many different designs. So, when it comes to dusting let your artistic flair come out.

What was your inspiration?

I am planning on making a wedding cake for a family wedding in May, and want to decorate the cake with beautiful flowers. Starting of course with Jamess exotic sugar orchids.

What are you most proud of?

How well i have managed to produce these flowers at a first attempt following Jamess clear and precise instructions, It gave me confidence and belief I could produce them.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Watch the video a couple of times, then with everything at hand follow James as he leads you through the process. It really is that easy!
