This is the cake I did for Amy's bridal shower.

I wanted it to resemble her bouquet. I did 67 mini cupcakes each with a royal icing flower. The cupcakes were skewered into an 8 1/2" styrofoam ball. Silk stems came out the back.

Flower making took about 10 hours. It was my first real practice outside of class time-hopefully the next time it will go quicker. I received an offer to do 13 miniture bouquets for centerpieces at a 25th wedding anniversary in June from the shower.
