I have a request to do a lotus flower, but I'm just wondering does the flower sit on a lily pad? I've read differently...any thoughts?

Eileen, how did you do the pad and flower?

You really did an great job on this.  They both look so real.  I really love the lotus.

Thanks, Linda! That was actually the second one I had to make.  The first one was much too large and didn't work with the flower.

June - my friend who asked for the cake told me she loved teal, purple, dragonflies and lotus flowers.  She sent me a picture that was similar to this and that's what I worked from.  :)  She's an art teacher so it was a bit intimidating to do something artistic for her.

My heavens, Eileen, that dragonfly is perfection!

This is so cool Eileen. Was this your idea or the customer's request?
