I made everything except the gold ribbon around the bottom, the 50 topper and the cardboard (duh). Now some tips for those making anything like this.
Tip #1 : Bake the cakes and as they cool (take out of pan before they cool too much or they will stick to the pan!!) make the flowers.
Tip #2 : Practice making the flowers before you make the cake, Practice, practice, and more practice.
Tip #3: Buy a gum paste flower making kit ( I recommend one by Wilton, you can get it at Michael's )
Tip #4: Research how others make the flowers. I found a couple different ways to make one type of flower so do the research on the flower you plan on making. Also, try to make it as real as possible (unless making a more cartoon style cake or something)
Tip #5 : Buy some sort of tool kit for making cakes (Again, Wilton has some really nice ones)
Tip #6 : Buy premade gum paste and fondant. It will save you tons of time!!
This cake would be for more elegant events and for more advanced people, but, if you follow my tips, you can do it, just make sure you practice, even on smaller cakes before you do this type if need be. If you have any questions just comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible. (:
