Crepe paper flower for cakes inspired by Martha Stewart

I was pretty surprised to see crepe paper flowers used by Martha Stewart on fondant covered wedding cakes! See the following picture:


Picture courtesy www.marthastewart.com A real beauty.

Now I was really inspired by the new crepe paper peonies I made to turn them into flowers for cakes.It's something I am looking into especially when brides would like to cut costs in this economy.

Some flowers on top and graduating down would look gorgeous!

Paper Flowers Peonies for weddings and cakes as toppers

I was making this order for Abby - 20 hot pink peonies.They have come out really well.With the economy in such a turmoil and brides trying to cut costs these flowers could very well replace the expensive cake flowers that are available.




What a gorgeous cake it would be with the topper of paper peonies.

Bridal wedding paper flower bouquet or a composite bouquet

I have been working on new designs for the Spring and this what I came up with.This is spin off from my large paper flower for pews!I was inspired to make these large single rose composite bouquet orginally designed in the Victorian ages.Now they will serve as a modern wedding bouquet for the bride or bridesmaid or even a flower girl.This can serve as gift or a first anniversary gift too (red is available)!The flower is about 8 inches across and made from paper and very gorgeous.No one would say it's paper!It's a delicate touch to it and something very new and fresh.The are sooo many petals in this flower so that creates such a lush and delicate look for the bouquet.

I made my daughter model it (it took a lot of coaxing to get her to hold it)

You can choose it to be simple rose or the rose can have artificial leaves fanning it.The handle will have nice brooch on it.If you just want a simple one or want more embellishments with the rose like some feather or beads with it,feel welcome to convo me.

Many colors are available like ivory/pale pink/other subtle color.

Thanks for looking,
please take a look at Paper roses for more of my work!
