Is there anyone on here that makes flowers to order! Im doing a wedding cake for a relative in Oct and she wants black flowers going down the the teirs and I have no idea how to make them. If someone could give a price that would be great.

You've got plenty of time so go have a look at youtube and find something you like then perfect it.I would recommend buying the black fondant though - its quite time consuming getting a good black (I made a freshian cow cake and used half a jar of black gel).Was before I realised that you could buy the coloured fondant!

Black fondant is great to work with, but it depends what type of flowers are required. They may need to be made from gum paste, especially if they are a delicate flower.

But can't you get a product that you mix into the fondant to make it hard!Sorry, I don't know the name of the product - I just use fondant and dry it in the hotwater cupboard.

To make delicate, almost transparent and very fine petals for roses and other flowers, you need to use flower modelling paste. I dont know about the other product you are talking about, sorry.

The girl im doing the cake for is coming around tomrow and she has a picture of what she wants, so im not sure what flowers she wants. Id need to make them well in advance as im going to be so busy that week she wants the cake. Im already worrying how im going to even make the cakes.

If your worrying about making the cakes, get someone to make the flowers for you and concentrate on the cakes. To makelovely flowers like the above photos is a talented art and takes a fair bit of practice.

Hello chicco2 ;)I thought you only baked shortbread.
Those are amazing cakes - I didn't know there was such a variety.My personal preference is the Berry/White Chocolate style, although I could be persuaded.

I'd be very careful about committing yourself if time constraints and expertise aren't on your side. That is pre-meditated stress, not good! Maybe do the cake in advance then get a professional to ice and decorate it

Hi ellehen. Thanks for your kind words. I love decorating cakes almost any flavour. Often made by other people like brides mum or nana.
