This flower-covered cake is truly a testimonial to spring! The Floral Collection Flower Making Set will help you make these incredibly lifelike tulip cake decorations.
In advance, using gum paste and largest rose petal cutter from Flower Making Set, make 65 gum paste tulips with tip 13 star centers and stamens. Using lily petal cutter, make approximately 150 gum paste leaves. Make extra flowers and leaves to allow for breakage and let dry.
Using Cake Dividing Set, divide 6 in. cake into 3rds and 10 in. cake into 6ths. At each division point, pipe tip 3 stem and attach tulip with buttercream. Continue piping stems and attaching tulips for a total of 4 in each cluster. Attach leaves in between and over stems.
Step 4
Cut 1 in. off wide end of Mini Wonder Mold cake. Position small side down on top of cake. Ice smooth. Pipe tip 3 stems to cover cake. Attach flowers and leaves to top and sides of cake; pipe additional tip 352 leaves to cover empty spaces. Pipe tip 140 stars to cover cake tops and overflow sides. Pipe tip 140 star bottom border and on 10 in. cake.

I made a cake very similar to this one with only one tier for my mother-in-law for her birthday. It was a huge hit.

I loved this cake !!I got to make one almost just like this for my cousin's wedding last May.The only thing different was thatmine was 3 square cake's, the top's of the cake was smooth , I made the side's like a trellis look and the tulip's were pink and yellow.Also instead of flower's on to the top she had a wedding topper.This was my first time making tulips,but they came out great after a little practice.They just take awhile to do especially when you have alot of them to make,but I had afun time doing it and everyone loved it!!
