Flowers

I worked on making my first roses. When you see them made you think they are so hard but they really weren't, even if you mess one up, you can still make it look good. These came out pretty good. They are half fondant and half gum paste.

I also made flowers for a Mother's Day cake. It seemed like I made a lot of flowers but on the cake it didn't amount to much. These are gum paste flowers and leaves on this cake. This cake had cream cheese frosting on it and I never could get it to smooth down nice but maybe all cakes are just not smoothed perfectly.

Here are some close ups of the flowers.
