Gardenia Cake Flowers

I got another request for gardenia cake flowers a while back. My Etsy client, Mary sent me the same cake picture that I received before. She told me how much her cake person told her it would cost to replicate in sugar or gumpaste and I was floored!!! Needless to say, I think this might become one of my additional items to my Etsy offerings moving forward since it seems to be so popular and the bride can use it for something else later. Put it in a shadow box with a wedding invitation perhaps as a keepsake or in a vase.

This is a very hectic week (but for me, I'm realizing every week is a hectic week) of trying to complete several print jobs and finally getting around to flower and invitation samples for several clients. My posts might be kind of light this week, but I'll try to post something new as often as possible. My goal is to put up some Christmas/holiday type arrangements on Etsy if I can find some time to create them. Oh yeah, which reminds me, I need to recreate a cake form so I can take better pictures of my work when clients ask for cake flowers. :)

DK Designs' Cake Flowers... Simple to Lavish but Both are Stylish

A couple of my clients asked for cake flowers. Both found me via my Etsy site.

A Single Peony Cake Flower

Marion requested one large open peony in a specific color to match her theme. She wanted something simple, but beautiful. Unfortunately I didn't have time to make a clay cake to show this beautiful piece off, so I had to just use a white vase. This will look really stunning on her cake. Even though it is just one flower, even one flower can make a beautiful statement on a wedding cake!

Peaches 'n Cream Anemone Cake Flowers
Emily asked me to make anemone cake flowers for her wedding in a really beautiful peaches 'n cream tones with the bold black and white centers. She wanted flowers to be decorated on the entire cake so I made 15 blossoms 5 of each size, small, medium and large. These will look lovely on a clean white cake! This one was a lot of work. Hand painted stamens and each stamen was individually attached to the center...

So regardless if you decide to decorate your cake with a lot of flowers or just one, either way, they will definitely look stunning!
