Red Calla Lillies

I absolutely love calla lillies! They are so simple yet extremely elegant. This was my first attempt at making these and I really should have used gum paste instead of fondant but unfortunately, marshmellows were all I had! The flowers came out beautifully except once taken out of the fridge, they start to become limp very fast! That is why gum paste is preferred for making flowers and figurines. Plus you can roll gum paste out thinner than fondant to give the flowers a very “real” look.

The cake is just plain white vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream icing. The bows, drapes, and lillies are all made with MMF. Since this is my first cake blog, I will also be uploading a couple of personal recipes I use for all my cake needs. Hope this helps!
