4. Making the Leaves

Getting the right shade is very important to the end result when it comes to leaves. Natalie talks through her colour mixes and then goes on to create a number of different shaped leaves, giving each one its own character.

5. Dusting the flowers

It’s fun time!! This is the part that Natalie enjoys most when she can bring all the leaves, buds and petals to life by adding some tasteful colours. Learn how Natalie chooses the right shade for each leaf, bud and petal then neatly applies to give an amazing finish.

6. Taping and making the hoop

Now that all the buds, petals and leaves are all dusted and ready to go, all we need now is to tape them together. In this lesson Natalie shows how to bring them all together and creates the floral hoop in preparation for bringing it all together on the cake.

7. Bringing it all together

This is where the magic happens. Bringing everything together is where cake artist meets flower arranger, so let your artistic side run wild. Alternatively, follow Natalie as she brings together an amazing arrangement and giving commentary which should help you decide what to place where.
