Calla Lily Basket

Calla Lily Basket on Cake Central

Thanks to the inspiration of Sylvia Weinstock and Scott Clark Woolley, this is my first endeavor into the wonderful world of gumpaste flowers. Not bad for a beginner, huh?

They are a gumpaste/fondant mixture which was colored with gel colors and later (after they dried) I dusted them with Luster dust in the same colors and steamed them for that wonderful shine. I used the instructions for the lilies from Scott's book "Cakes by Design" with my own cutters.

Last year I met Sylvia in NYC and she got me all excited about Gumpaste flowers. When I got back I had some contact with Scott who gave me lots of encouragement. Thanks Scott!

The cake was a commission from a special needs adult woman who was turning 50 and she approached me saying "it's my 50th birthday and I want to do something special so I'm ordering one of your cakes, that's my treat." All I could think was "wow, I guess I've arrived!"

This is another cake I show my students to help them "think outside the box." Who said calla lilies only come in white?? I think this look works well!!
