I was very new to cake decorating and did not follow any guides or tutorials and was simply working from a photograph of a bike… so… there are many, many flaws. This was my first technical sugarpaste construction f...

The making of the Moth Orchid Part 1
It is hard to explain every detail in a mini turorial, but I believe this can get you started…

This is a basic mini tutorial since not all steps are shown or explained in detail.
Hope you enjoy it…
Double sided moth orchid veiner...
