I made this for my wedding anniversary, the pot was a sticky ginger cake and I made the orchids and foliage using cold porcelain. I decorated it with gold leaf and got the shine from a couple of coats of dinkydoodle shell and shine spray.

I couldn’t decide which I preferred, the pot on the wood effect cake board or on the white cake stand, I’m edging toward the cake board but still undecided.

I have tried to keep a real Phalaenopsis orchid plant but they always drop their flowers really quickly, which is why I’m going to put these fake orchids in a plant pot in my living room!
