Thank you for answering my questions.  What is the name of the book with the carriage you mentioned?  My granddaughter's 10th Birthday is approaching and I'd love to make Cinderella's coach to totally set off the scene.  How cool that would be.

Thanks for the comments! Patty Bonds:The tulle flowers is a really old method from "Wilton". I have dreamed of making them for years. The instructions came from "the Wilton Way of Cake Decorating, vol.#1, pg 148. The "Net Flowers" I made were on page 26. First draw out the petal shape or print out on the computer. I used a heart shape. Next, cut out the pattern and use it to cut out several layers of tulle. I used a styrofoam block, straight pins, wax paper, premade stamens, a piping bag of royal icing and the pattern. Take the pattern of the petal, glue with RI or tape it the styrofoam block. Take a  small square of wax paper and place over the pattern of the petal. Place on top of that, the tulle or "netting", Pin the three sheets down with the straight pin to the center of the pattern. Then pipe the royal icing with tube #1(thinned down RI, not too thin, it should pipe easily out of tip. )  zizzag around the edge of the pattern, making sure the RI is being piped on top of the tulle.  In the center of petal pipe a fleur de lis or a pattern of your choice. Take the straight pins out. Lift up the wax paper square with the tulle petal and place in a wilton narrow flower former to curve or let it try flat.  Pipe 5 petals. Once the petals are all dry, 4 hrs, I let mine dry for a day. Finally, cut a larger square, in the center pipe a round dot with tube #1 or 2. Stick the 5 petals gently into the dot. Next, I took a damp brush to form a dot in the center. I used a tip or tube #14 to pipe the center, then stuck the 6 premade stamens in. This can be used for leaves, and butterflys. I have a book that shows a carriage with horse that used wires and in this technique. I hope this makes sense. Best wishes/
