Since they are all fondant, the small flowers are just attached using a small amount of water.  I waited to attach the magnolias until I set up the cake at the venue.  I used royal icing to attach them.  I try not to build my flowers on wires if I can avoid it.  I like for all my flowers to be not only edible (cake safe), but EAT-able, meaning they taste good and are palatable! 

 

Maybe I'll throw together a quick video on how I made the magnolias. :)

I have those cutters.  I'm new to gumpaste flowers.  How did you attach them to the cake?  Are they on wire?

I think one of those three petal cutters is for the orchid..at least one is in that group.  Lovely magnolias!!

That should be yellow and green petal dust.  Sorry.

Cat - the cutters were all in the Wilton Gumpaste Flowers kit.  For the magnolias outer petals I used what they call the Tulip cutter, only I cut the fondant out thicker then thinned it into the right shape with a ball tool.  For the inner, thinner petals, I used another cutter that was in there (can't remember what they call it - it's the other 3-petal cutter).  The middles I made by making a fondant cone, then used a #5 tip to make the dents and dusted it with yellow and gold petal dust.

 

The small flowers are the middle sized 5-petal cutter in the same kit.

What kind of cutter did you use for the flowers?  Super cute cake!
