Summer's Day

Trying out some new color combinations and designs. Unsure whether I should keep it clean or add more flowers. The greenery is fondant and the the flowers are gum paste.

Thanks for the input. I wondered if it should be view the same all around. So continue the flower in similar groupings all the way around.

The flowers are stunning- they look so delicate. I think if there are more, it would be overpowering. Beautiful work!

if the back of the cake will be visible, then I would go ahead and make the back a mirror image of what we see here, pretty much. It is a very pretty design, and I also think it looks best with just a few flowers... plus, less work for you :-)

Thanks, I like the idea of the mirror image.

Beautiful! Assuming it's ribbon, how did you "glue" your flowers on ? And did you airbrush? TIA

The flowers are colored with petal dust. I used a custom mix of poppy and orange and over brushed some capucino to tone it down with some brown around the center. No airbrush.
