this past weekend my friend lisa and i took on quite the challenge...making 2 (not 1) birthday cakes for a little girl birthday party! their only request was that we use lots of red, yellow, gerber daisies and sunflowers!!
to make the flowers we used gum paste! dyed it, rolled it out, & cut it with the flower cutter. 
2 petals were used for each flower.
then the center was a circular cut out that was pressed against a metal colander.
so simple!
and cute!
we made about a dozen big and 8 small for each cake.
the next few steps (baking, icing, decorating, etc.) i forgot to take pictures of (oops!), but here is the one i did get because charlie (lisa's english bull dog puppy) was biting my pants while i iced the cake! he is such a cutie!
the finished product! this was a chocolate cake with butter cream icing.
the 'red cake' was a strawberry cake with more butter cream icing (we went through a lot of butter cream!!)
this was such a fun project that i think i would enjoy doing more of ;)
you two are AWESOME!!
