What was your inspiration?
I was asked to make a Scottish thistle in gumpaste for this cake. I said "Sure!" without bothering to see if I could find any instructions or cutters...geez! Needless to say - there are none! Of course I didn't bother to discover this until 2 days before the cake was due...another big mistake on my part. So, I just had to "wing it" and use what I had. It actually turned out cute - if you like that whole "weed on your cake" look - ha !! Anyway, they were happy which is all that matters. I still say a thistle is nothing but a weed.
The cake is iced in buttercream and I hand painted the second tier. I used the diamond cutter to make the marks on the other tiers.
Thanks for looking!
