Thanks again Goreti, the 'style' was really Jordan's, she wanted to use the punches, and this is the result! lol  Can't get but so creative when working with a 4 year old. 

I've been thinking about that, and think I will use a mister to apply flavor, think it should work just fine! ?? !  Without damaging the paper.

Or, we can get together, make our own paper, and flavor it during the cooking process......

Love this cake--It's funny how we all have different styles when making flowers.  I love the look of yours but somehow can't pull it off.  As far as the taste, they now sell wafer paper that is tasty but it is a little pricey.  I'll deal with what I have.

I though it looked a little taller, but that is still a pretty tall cake.  I love the airy, whimsical look of paper flowers (except for Goreti's, which look real), but I agree that buttercream, fondant and gum paste flowers will not be edged out by wafer paper.

Thank you Betty, but I am afraid, sadly, that 'paper' flowers, are never going to come up to the sugar ones, both fondant & Buttercream!  And that would be in appearance, as well as taste, of which they have NONE, to that I can attest! lol  So therefore they will NEVER , EVER, be in a contest with yours! :o)

Bonnie,, I like your cake too, and your flowers are pretty.

It is a hair over 8 3/4"!  Not as tall as I imagined! lol

Bonnie this cake is really gorgeous.  How tall is it, anyway?  Looks super tall (and delicious)!
