Thank you so much, Luz!  I had Ron Ben-Israel envy for his gum paste stands, so had to try it even though I didn't really have a good mold.  The roses are made with Platinum Paste, a professional gum paste which is just wonderful for flowers.

Thank you so much, Goreti!  Give yourself a pat on the back for the roses.  It was you who introduced me to Platinum Paste (You should be getting a commission for all that has been sold in the US!) and making the petals without cutters - you and Gali both on that one.

Sandra, your talent is really amazing. This is perfection from top to bottom. Everything is beautifully executed. I could swear that the roses are real!

Gali, when sugar art is your avocation and you have a whole world of amazing teachers, you cannot help but improve.  You guys have taught me soooo much, and besides, you would kick my butt if I didn't get better - lol!  Thank you, again, my friend!

Thanks, again, Denise.  Ron B-I just uses the gum paste / fondant stand on a few of his cakes...omg, isn't he amazing!  Yes, it is the Wilton Baroque mold...the only one I have, but I've used it quite a bit.  Now, this is how I design a cake - I actually made the stand first because I wanted to see if it would work, then I had to figure out a design that would match it.  Bonnie gave me the lace molds and cake lace recipe, so I wanted to use them - OK!  That works, lace and baroque...good to go :o)

Oh I love Ron Ben-Israel's cakes!! I wasn't aware he made his own cake stands but not at all surprised. I will have to check that out as I think the cake stand/base is equally as important as the cake. It sets the stage for the cake. Is that the Wilton baroque mold you have used? The scroll work looks familiar. I used that one on combination w/the Wilton Lace mold to achieve the design for the masquerade cake I made. I think it was an excellent choice for the cake stand. It has a shabby chic/vintage look which really compliments the design of your cake. CLAP...CLAP...CLAP...BRAVO!!
