: I was looking at your albums on Webshots and your cakes are beautiful!  How do you get your buttercream so smooth?  I use the hot knife method, but mine doesn't come as smooth as that!  Also, even with your gumpaste flowers being wired only two at a time, on 3" skewers,how do you place them in the tiers so that gravity doesn't cause them to pull/rip the cake?  One more question...do you transport cold,fully decorated cakes or do you put all the flowers on the cake at the site?  Thanks for your help.




: The flowers in the cascade are not all wired together...in fact there's not a group of more than two wired together.  If flowers are heavy, I will use floral tape to attach them to wooden skewers that I have cut to 3 or 4 inches in length so that they go deep enough into the cake to support the flower's weight.

: I usually don't have luck with using gumpase wired flowers on buttercream in a cascade.  They seem to be too heavy.  Do you have pointers for making it work like that?  Again, the cake is beautiful
: : 
Exquisite!  

*Thanks for the compliment!

Is the icing buttercream or fondant with the gum paste Poinsettias?  

*The icing is buttercream. My market area is not interested in the taste of fondant.

How did you get them to stay on the cake?

*The flowers are wired.

Is the cascade only on the front?  Very beautiful!

*No, the cascade goes down both sides. The cake was placed so that it could be viewed from all sides.




: This is a cake I did for a friend's daughter a week before Christmas....normally I won't do cakes in December due to my candy making and Christmas baking, but I had to do this one.
