I bought these sweet cake tins a couple of months ago, and since then I have wanted to convert the pattern into a cake design.
So this weekend I had the time to do it. I made a batch of vanilla cupcakes and made the small sugar flowers to look as close as the flowers on the tins but still with my own touch.
They are topped with poured fondant icing as found in Peggy Porschens book Pretty Party Cakes I have painted the royal icing borders with edible gold lustre dust. I think they turned out very well and Shabby Chic like.
Happy Caking

Beyond beautiful! Wonderful job. I love Peggy’s book too, she breaks down instructions so well.

Yes she does. That’s why I like the books so much. Glad you liked them.

These are gorgeous! But I didn’t see them in the Peggy Porschens Party Book…I must have the wrong one…which one is it?

Thank you Karen.
What I ment with Peggy Porchen was that I have used the directions on poured fondant from Peggy’s book:o)The flowers are my own touch.

Oh, I wondered what you meant as I couldn’t find anything like these in there at all. Most of the books I have also have the poured fondant method in them.
Peggy Porschen has some lovely stuff.

Louise, these are such beautiful creations, thankyou for sharing your talent with us.
I would love to know how you made the lighter center on the blue flower please? Did you paint it with white dust? Or have you diluted the colour with alcohol?
Many thanks,
Natasha

Hi Natascha
I simply cut out a smaller 5-petal flower and place it over the other flower. Place them in the flower veiner together and press. Then they will look like one flower. You can read more about the flowers in the: “How to make sugarcraft flower”.
I hope that was the answer you was looking for.
