Mary's 60Th Birthday Orchids

Mary's 60Th Birthday Orchids on Cake Central

I made this for a friend's sister's 60th birthday. Some 'hybrid' orchids for the top & a little poem, as she loves poetry! Hope there were no orchid aficionados at the party ... as there are no flowers on earth like these!! Flowers are flower paste, & poem is edible image on modelling paste. Sorry about photo, never got a good picture of the whole cake!

Your cake looks gorgeous!!! How did you get the edible image on the scroll? That's a new technique to me!

Many thanks for all your lovely comments. SCS, I rolled out some modelling paste quite thin, attached the edible image with a mist of water, then cut the page shape around the text, rolled up bottom edge around wooden spoon handle & rolled the top end around a cardboard tube, until it dried! Very easy!!
