Heart-Shaped Pillow Of Flowers
This is my all time favorite piece. It was made with white chocolate gumpaste for a chocoloate festival several years ago. It was shown on The Food Network's Top 5 when they first started showing different competitions around the country.
I nearly came unwound when a JUDGE decided to touch them to see if they were real. Thankfully, someone who knew me stopped him and let him know that I had made them and they were chocolate.
Mother Nature has a good student in you, BEAUTIFUL work
Those roses are exquisite! It's like I could just stoop over and smell their fragrance!
This amazing. Now my favorite!
Incredible! I 'm in awe!!!!!!
I'm not sure what to say, there aren't enough words in the dictionary to explain how fantastic this looks !! :)
oh my goss I thought for sure they were real flowers, Even now as I look at the pic I'm still not sure I 'm convinced they are chocolate (j/k). Great work, you are truly a cake artist.Beautiful
You have incredible talent!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW !!! this is awesome. I just looked at your photos after you posted that your flowers are your "signature". I'll say !!!! Beautiful work. How long have you been decorating? I just started cakes and haven't even made any flowers yet !!! Does it take alot of practice??
I've been decorating for 11 years. God gave me the ability to make flowers. Finding the right gumpaste for yourself is one of the hardest parts. Yes, they do take a lot of practice, but I am obsessive-compulsive about my work. :) Gumpaste is a whole new medium, such as oil painting takes different tools and techniques than water color.
Absolutely exquisite, my oh my-how beautiful this is!!!
gorgeous........did you make the baby's breath too?? Man, I wish my roses looked like that........I have to figure out that ball tool huh??
The baby's breath is made by dipping white head stamens into gum glue and then into non-pareilles (sp?). Do each side, let them dry, and then fold in half with 3 or 4 other sets, secure with a fine wire and floral tape.
Same here -- WOW!
I cant believe these aren't real floweres!!
I can't find the words to express how wonderful this cake is!!!! I'm in total awe!!!!!
Your cakes are absolutely stunning!!! Do you make your own gumpaste? If so - which recipe do you use...or do you purchase....would love to know....
I don't even know what to say but WOW and congratulations on such wonderful work!
OH MY GOD ! Is Beautiful
Lovely. The veining on the roses makes such a realistic flower.
wow! 8O
Unbelievable! You can't hardly even buy real flowers that look this good!!!
Incredible!!! I am speechless!!! K'ly
you are so talented! I hope someday I will be half as good as you are. Fabulous work!
These flowers are absolutely wonderful.
Unbelievable!
fantastic work 8O
That is nothing short of incredible!! I'm in awe! When I first clicked on this I was looking underneath the "real" flowers for the cake.
Holy Cow, you sure these aren't real?! ;-)
Just beautiful. Your roses are the best and thanks for explaining the baby's breath, I'd like to try it
I just saw this on the Chocolate Festival on FoodNetwork and I recognized it from my favorites! This is SOOO pretty!
Wow! I can't believe they're showing that again. It was taped in 2001! I still have it, too.
Oh wow!! I saw this on Food Network not too long ago! That was in Norman, Ok.Right? I'm from Tulsa! I can't believe that other piece won first place. It was NOTHING compared to this. Those silly judges.
We never know what judges might want. Every competition is completely different.
Oh my God this is awsome. So tell me where did you find the right gum paste and how can I get some?
I'll be working on a DVD at the end of May, 2007 for this particular piece. I don't know when it will be available (editing, etc.).
let us know when the dvd is available and where we can get one. I would love to learn about these flowers.
