Gumpaste Roses with black ribbon Wedding Cake

The flowers on this cake are made from gumpaste. After attempting a couple different styles (the 5 petal cutter and just a round cutter) I decided to mold each petal one by one with the round cutter. It gave a much fuller/natural look to the roses. I sprayed the small white blossoms with a pearlescent spray prior to placing them on the cake. The customer brought me a picture of this cake but asked to have the colors changed and buttercream rather than fondant.

Gumpaste Orchid & Roses

This cake was made for the Assistant to the President at Emmanuel School of Religion. She has worked for 27 years and this is a cake I was asked to make for a retirement party. There were also 2 double layer full sheet cakes (not pictured).
The orchids and roses were molded out of gumpaste and carefully pieced together.

Leo the Lion

My baby turned 1 today, and since his middle name is Leonidas, I went with a lion theme for his cake.
Inspiration for this cake came from "The Pink Cake Box" they originally made a tiger figurine and I changed mine to a lion.
