Waterlily Cake

Waterlily Cake on Cake Central

I made this cake for the local show. The waterlily, frog, butterflies and dragonflies are made from modelling paste (gumpaste).The cake is fruitcake covered in blue marbelled fondant to look like water.

So beautiful! Looks just like the lily in my pond this afternoon. And the dragonflies are marvelous....just like the ones that visit my lily pond. ;-D

I love the little frog, and your water lily is beautiful!! You probably would have won even if there were a whole bunch of entries!

Thanks, I didn't use a cutter just used a scalpel and a paper template from a book and I dried the larger ones over a half a styrofoam ball and the smaller ones on spoons to get the curve. For the centre I just made that up because I didn't think any of the ones in the books looked realistic. If you want any further info just PM me:)
