Clay Cake Flowers

Today has been a day spent catching up on my orders. My last day with Thalia, my student from Saudi Arabia was yesterday. We had a wonderful time getting to know each other and she thoroughly enjoyed learning the techniques of the DECO Clay Craft Academy! She's awaiting her certification, but more about Thalia and her projects later.

I had a peony cake flower order for a bride in Australia. I finally had a chance to paint them and ship them. I wanted to share those photos as well as a photo of a red anemone cake flower. This was actually left over from another client's bouquet, but I had a hard time capturing the right color.

More to come later in the week, but for now, back to work on my August orders!

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!
