I thought I would share the other "pinned" item that I'm inspired by and my progress on it. As you all know, Stephen and I are celebrating our 25th Anniversary with a party on July 8th, and I decided that I wanted to make the cake. I finally narrowed down all the ideas (with lots of help from my Aunt) to this cake....
I've made several trips to M's, HL, and J looking for the "perfect" centers and finally decided to go with a variety. JoAnn's had the bead section of sale for 60% off, I bought a lot!
Here's the first 2 flowers I've made...the one is laying on some crumpled alum foil to hold up it's petals...but I'm liking the other one (with the 3 layers) better but I will probably do a variety of both. I've got to make at least 20 flowers...gum paste is so fragile that if I don't you know they will get broke in transit to the church.
I promise to post a picture of the finished cake...
