Be My Valentine

This cake was for a valentine banquet- white cake with raspberry filling. I painted the backround with food coloring, added my fondant flowers, then continued painting more details in and around the flowers to look like foliage in the backround. The result is a cake that sort of resembles hand painted china.

I stick my flowers to the cake with royal icing, when doing flowers on fandant,(which is what I did with this cake). When I put flowers on buttercream, I use buttercream to stick them on.
