Hydrangeas - continued!

Here they are, assembled, dusted and steamed. I'll leave them overnight to totally dry and then they go on the cake. Now......back to CQ'ing!!!

This is the finished cake.

Sugar Flowers

Along with all the sewing, I love cake decorating and actually have a little corner of my living room set aside for this. There is a special sugar paste called "gumpaste" that can be transformed into beautiful sugar flowers. I have a good friend, Verdie, who is my partner in crime, and we spend half a day a week filling orders or just playing around with our gumpaste! This is a sugar moth orchid. Looks almost real!
