Do you know they're made of sugar?

those does not look like sugar ones to me. I wouldnt use fresh ones on cakes though, so check out this tutorial.

I find that this method gives the most realistic looking ones. If you dont have a lily cutter, use a heart shaped one.

The tutorial is fine accept that she did not wrap the wires.  Those wires need to be wrapped for a better look.  They are much too skinny for a calla.  Also the green at the bottom needs to fade out going up, not such a dramatic line.  And the yellow inside needs to fade also.

The cake is very pretty... but I have not made Calla's like that.  I followed Edna's video on Calla's when I made them.  I am sure you could do them similar if you tried!
