This cake was hugely inspired by the work of Erin from Three Little Blackbirds (TLB Cakes). After watching her fabulous free mini class on Craftsy I went about to find a project to do. While researching cherry blossoms, I came across a fantastic handpainted cherry blossom cake by Môn Cottage Cupcakes. When I contacted Nina to rave about her stunning cake, she sent me her handpainted cherry blossom tutorial. Even though I had done my cherry blossoms at this stage, I found many more fabulous tips in it.

so pretty—How nice of Nina to share the tutorial with you! I think it’s wonderful to hear of a decorator helping someone else.

Thank you guys so much. I have to agree with Goreti, I am overwhelmed how supportive and approachable a lot of the ‘seasoned’ cake decorators are when you ask for advice. Never having had any formal class, I wouldn’t be where I am skills wise, if it wouldn’t be for all the Ninas, Erins, Callis, Lesleys, Mayens, Sharons etc. in this wonderful world of cake ;-)
