Cake decorating, miniature flowers / garden

Preparation steps

• I made something similar before, take a look at the gallery. The cake itself is based on the principle of a rubber box + on the outside you can fondant (previous version) or royal icing (described in more detail here, inside is a soft cake with a lot of icing and topped with chocolate glaze. All flowers (daffodils, bougenville, etc.) are too small, They are made on the principle of pulled flowers, so make a ball, dig a hole in the middle, cut with scissors into pieces depending on how many petals you want and shape the flower.For tulips, scissors cut the inner part into three parts and roll out separately For bougenville, use a Dresden tool to make the tendrils and apply with a toothpick mao royal cing, three dots, for the flowers inside the bracts.For hydrangeas, for the leaves I used a cutter for roses and slightly stretched the leaf horizontally, to accept the color when I paint the leaf.For flowers, make balls of gumpasta and stick flowers on them, when they dry paint them up rahu and expose to water vapor to paint the feet. stick the leaves and flowers into a pre-made pot in which you put a little fresh gum (I coated the top with egg white and sprinkled with oat bran colored brown with edible color to make it look more realistic) For petunias, make a pot and paint it with edible copper paint, make paint them and make leaves. Shape into a green ball of gumpasta, place in a skewer and coat with green royal icing and paste the flowers. If you are making a hanging pot, put a wire around the pot before the flowers are completely dry so that they do not break. To glue the elements together (wall in the background, trelis) it is very important that the parts are thick and strong enough to hold the structure. The wall is made of two layers (to have a pattern of bricks on both sides) and in the second layer I cut out the part where the trellis goes, so that I can glue it not only on the lower surface but also have a little on the side to hold it tighter. What is also important, put bougenville branches on the wire before they harden completely so that they do not break. For the pot in front of the cake, it is made in the same way as with polymer clay, the instructions are here. Same for potted daffodils, instructions here.
