I just started making custom cake pedestals, so i made this practice cake to match my pedestal. I think they compliment eachother quite nicely.

Pretty hand painted blue flowers

I love the hand painting and how did you make the pedestal? I love to use classy cake stands instead of foil covered boards.

how did you make the pedestal?
cakification 4/1/11 at 8:23am
The pedestal is just a unique candle holder and a vintage plate bonded together.. Ive made a bunch of them.

CSM: Unique idea for matching stands/etc.Like the blue/white contrast, but doesn't really match the board color-wise.I haven't attempted a flower such as this one, but first glance looks pretty.Center is a tad too dark for my taste. Not sure if I like the cake w/out a board underneath. I mean, do you cut on the platform & is the platform removable?It may be a detraction from the cake.So cake: Swirls are pretty, can see a tiny bulge but not bad. :)

CSM: (cont'd, cuz I'm windy today :lol: ) I think to set this whole thing off, I would've put in a rich dark blue fondant board underneath the cake itself. Solid color. Then it would've set off your colors nicely & also a barrier of sorts to the cake plate. Just myhumble opinion. :) Overall an artsy cake. To add to the flower realism, try next time reallyl thinning out the edges of the petals. :wink:

Wow, you're like a bundle of helpful info for me today! Thanks so much GI!

CSM: I think the board detracts from the cake. The bottom side looks a little rough. I think that the center on the flower is a tad too dark. Overall, this cake is really pretty and you did a great job on the hand painting.

CSM: Good job! The handpainting is lovely, especially on the top. Really beautiful. I think I agree with the others that the cakestand is detracting from the cake a little and a plainer dark blue board would work better. The cake stand is really lovely though and I think it would look great with a plainer all white or monochrome cake on it! The flower might be a little dark for the shade of blue on the cake but it's very pretty and has a wonderful enamel effect on it - would make a lovely brooch!

This has to be one of my favorites!!! since I love blue, love how its deep here, are your cakes bc? or fondant??
cakification 6/6/11 at 7:29am
Thanks so much 2txmedics! It's hand painted fondant. Blue is my favorite colour too.
