Is this any good?
(I usually only make stylised flowers so I'm a bit out of practice)

Foxy that is really lovely
Thanks everyone.
Like I said, I normally use stylised flowers for my designs and it's for a golden wedding cake so I'm hyper-nervous that it's got to be right and look beautiful.
I've got to make three and then some freesias as well

Technically it is edible...
...but you'd have to pull all the bits of wire out first and also get past my temper tantrum!
It's brilliant. I'd love to have a talent like that.

its brilliant, and i love freesias, so why not post a pic if the completed cake when you have finished it.
I think it's fantastic, looks so real. Well done
It's beautiful. How long does it take you to make?
You made that? It's brilliant! Especially the little blush-tinged petals near the centre, very realistic
It is beautiful Foxy.
Very beautiful foxy
lovely and im a big fan of flowers
I will post a picture of the cake when its done - it's due the 2nd of September so I'll have it finished (hopefully) the day before. It's a bit more traditional than most of the cakes I do but that's good as it'll be a nice addition to my portfolio to show that i can do the old-fashioned stuff as well if you really want me too!

Wow, you're clever. I'm a cake decorator too so I can appreciate all the time you have put into making the rose. Love the tinge of pink in the centre

The tinge of pink is somethng I saw in a book by Alan Dunn. The man is a genius! He also advised about putting the mixture of green, white and yellow at the base of the petals to make the centre 'glow' and I think it's very effective and made the flower look very realistic. I only hope my client appreciates it!

I'm sure they will, if that rose is anything to go by. It's beautiful and you're very talented

Alan Dunn is fantastic with colours. I've always wanted to do one of his workshops but never managed to. He's a geordie just like me! I once had lessons from Linda Pawsey (another very talented cake decorator) on modelling figures in sugar and cold porcelain.
Looking forward to seeing the finished cake
Lovely. You will have to post more pics as you do more cakes :nods:
