thanks for the lovely comments gail. I used burgundy flour paste which always dries to a peculiar grey mauve colour so I overdust with burgundy powder colour and then overdust the rose centres with a little black to make the centres a deeper colour, then steam so that the colour doesn't drop on the cake (i learnt that one the hard way after my 1st burgundy flowers lol)

i can laugh about it now but I had spoken to the grooms mother about delivery not an hour before and was assured that someone would be there, I was just about ready to kill by then lol.

That's a good question Gail.  I wondered the same thing, but forgot to ask. How did you achieve such a amazing burgundy colour Les??

OMG.....  stress city!!!!  I always call a week or two ahead, cause I am anal.... and talk to someone in charge. Let them know I am the "cake lady"... hee hee, and ask about when I can come in to set up, where to set up.... blah, blah.  Get directions if I have to, all that sort of stuff.  Always feel better when I do that.  Don't like the "unknown"!!!  :o)
