Yes, you can use daisy cutters for blackeyed susans and sunflowers. You just alter the center. Add some paint for dimension. Every year my husband just asks for chocolate and icing - no fondant, no fancy-schmancy flavors or designs (his...

Why not find a lip imprint you like online. Cut it out of something sturdy for a template. Then lightly outline on the cake to get the shape and paint the lip part with a paint brush and gel. You can make it streak in parts and separate...
