After being asked to make a small arrangement for a family friend I began thinking about how flowers play a big part in cake decorating, and how there are such a variety of flower shapes, moulds and cutters to choose from.
My favourite flower to make is a Lilly. By using a veined cutter and the moulding them before they have set you can create very realistic petals. I then used a light pink dust through the middle of the petal and wired pink ribbon loops to carry the theme through.
The best way to cover up wire in a sugar arrangement is to use green florist tape (preferably a narrow one) to group all the wire together.
You can also add in curled wire, in this case I have used a darker pink, as well as two different coloured leaves to break up the 'pinkness' and create a more stand out arrangement.
Although some flowers need slightly more effort they can really make a cake stand out so go out and play around with you favourite flowers and see what you can create!
