I had another design in mind, but after making all my flowers, I realized I didn't make enough for what I needed, hence this traditional Stacked Cake. Good thing they were happy with whatever I would make for them. Coordinated it with their Periwinkle and Royal Blue colors. All flowers were made of Gumpaste.

Nice cake and the flowers are beautiful!! I have been trying to make gumpaste flowers and the paste always seems so dry. What gum paste recipe do you use? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

I used Nicholas Lodge's Tylose recipe, which you can find on his site, www.isac.com. I believe it's 4 egg whites, 12 tsp tylose powder and 2lbs of powdered sugar. This recipe does get a bit dry after you roll it several times, but it dries quick, which is good when molding petals... Thanks for the compliment ;-)

Well from my Magnolia looking like roses in my Wilton cake (which is in my profile), I taught myself by observation. Wilton instructor never took the time to teach me well enough. I also went to a demo where Ron Ben-Israel demonstrated how to make one. I'm still practicing ;-) Thanks for your comments. Tip? Use toothpick to roll the edges of the petals
