April showers bring May flowers

Why: Awhile ago I saw a cake on www.cakewrecks.com (it was an example of a good lookin cake) that I really really liked. I decided to work on my gum paste skills and make a display cake that was inspired by the original.

What: The original cake was all daffodils which was beautiful but I felt that it need a slight variety in color and type of flower. I made all the flowers out of gum paste (over 2 days! Way more intense than I thought it would be) and the green stems is marshmallow fondant. I am so very pleased with the results and now have a greater appreciation for gumpaste flowers ..well.. gum paste anything! I am so glad this was just for fun and practice because I severely under estimated the amount of time it took.
