Denise's potted orchid cake!

My former Wilton student, Denise, made this gorgeous cake for her daughter's birthday this week!  She made the orchids using sugar paste (aka gum paste) and baked the cake in the shape of a flower pot.  

Denise will soon be joining me to teach Wilton Method cake decorating classes, and you can see why!  She is a passionate decorator.  Best of all, she has become my friend.  Great job, Denise!
