Fuchsia Pink Peony Cake Flower

The flower isn't even completely dry yet, but here's the next Etsy offering in my line of cake flowers. A fuchsia pink peony. Again 6 inches in diameter and bold yet stunningly beautiful. You can have peonies regardless of the season. That's the most wonderful thing about clay flowers. Whatever the season or temperature, you can have the flower of your dreams for cakes, bouquets and more!

Single Pink Peony Cake Flower

Yesterday was a VERY productive day in terms of flowers and other things. LOL. One would think that a normal person, when sick would be stuck in bed feeling miserable... Well... my fever and swollen glands gave me a boost of energy... who knew! I made 100 stephanotis flowers for a couple of bouquets I plan to post on Etsy by the weekend and made 12 gardenia hair flowers to replenish the dwindling inventory of my hair flowers on Etsy and of course another cake flower. The last couple of posts I have been doing sets of flowers. This time I figured I would do a single peony cake flower. Many of my brides are just looking for a single LARGE flower and peonies are one that many seem to like. This one is 6 inches in diameter and over 40 petals. It's beautiful all by itself.

Feeling much better today, so hopefully I will be able to knock out a few more cake flower designs to post later this week! Here's to a very productive 2009!

The Bridal Bouquet to Match the Tussie Mussie Bouquets
A lot to accomplish today before my podcast interview. This morning I managed to finish the bride's bouquet that matches the tussie mussie bouquets I blogged about earlier in the week. This one is a handtied bouquet. The tussie mussie holder is a little small to create a larger bridal bouquet in, so I thought it best to do a handtied version. Again, I used the light pink peonies, but this time I created the open peonies where you can see the beautiful yellow centers to add a little more texture and dimension. Lots of pearl stephanotis and medium pink roses and green fillers to fill in and make the bouquet fullers. The bouquet stems are wrapped in ivory ribbon and accented with a beautiful pink silk ribbon secured with pearl pins.
More to come from this wedding as I plan on finishing the boutonnieres and corsage.. Stay tuned....
