Sugar Ranunculus Wedding Cake

Gayelle first contacted me about doing a wedding cake for her son, Nickolas and Melissa. They had been on the web site www.SedonaWeddingCakes.com.

They wanted a simply classy cake with sugar flowers. Gayelle mailed in color swatches. Melissa and I spoke over the phone walking through her design and cake flavors.
Melissa favorite flower is ranunculus. The last time I tried to make sugar ranunculus I wasn't to pleased. I wanted a more natural look. This is what I came up with.


I wasn't sure until I put the sugar flowers on the cake if I could capture the beauty of ranunculus in sugar. I did hear back that a few people thought they were fresh flowers.


I enjoyed the challenge.
