This week’s Sunday Stills photo challenge from Terri over at Second Wind Leisure Perspectives is all about plant life.
I love plants and flowers, especially ones made from fondant, so today I’m going to showcase a few of my favourite fondant flowers.
You can join in the photograph challenge here; https://secondwindleisure.com/2020/06/07/sunday-stills-plant-life-grows-around-us/

Hi Frank, I like that one too. The golden roses were a challenge to make and the chocolate ganache icing highlighted them beautifully.

Hi Jill, not that many of them get eaten, to be honest. Some people keep them, they last for a long time. My nieces eat some of them and some of my work colleagues too.

What a treat that would be.,

Thank you, Toni. The hibiscus cake was for my mom’s 80th birthday and the golden roses cake for her 78th birthday. I adore my mom so making a cake for her always brings out the best in my artwork.
