This cake is for a colleague's birthday, and she asked for peony sugar flowers for the cake. She has been asking me to make sugar flowers for her, so she can keep them as collectibles.
Few weeks ago, she said that since her birthday is coming, maybe I can make her a cake with sugar flowers, so she can keep it for a longer time. I'm so flattered that someone would like to keep my cake as a collectible, so I tried very hard to make a nice cake that can earn it.

All flowers and leaves are made with gum paste, and the string work was piped with royal icing.
For the peonies, I used peony petal cutters along with peony leraf cutter & veiner. The petal cutters I used are in 4 different sizes, from the smallest to the largest, you will need to cut the number of petals in 3, 5, 5 and 7 pieces.
