For this cake, I wanted the colors to be really feminine and soft. I colored the buttercream light peach, yellow and pink for the flowers. For leaves I used willow green color.

With tip # 18, make the leaves on the edge of the cake.

Make roses using tip # 104 peach buttercream and place a few around the cake.

Make yellow chrysanthemums with tip # 81.

With tip # 104 and pink buttercream, make five-petal flowers around the cake. Use round tip # 2 to make some three dots in the center of the flowers.

Using the same pink icing but using tip # 2 this time, pipe a line of dots on the some of the leaves as pictured.

Here's another cake with same methods but different colors.

And a flower birthday sheet cake using same methods but different shape. I used two 9" X 13" sheet cakes side by side for a cake to serve approx. 50. For the sides, I used tip #104 to make the scalloped ruffles around the cake.

For this cake, I used different shades of pink for a monochromatic look. I used pink mixed with a bit of red for the dark pink icing and Rosy mauve and a very light pink for the other 2 colors. For leaves, I used Leaf color.

I used just one icing tip for this cake , which is 104, for all the flowers. I used dark pink buttercream for the roses, rosy mauve for the simpler flower and light pink for the clusters of petals. I then mixed a bit of purple to one of the colors and used tip # 2 to pipe dots in the center of the simple flower.

Using the same tip#104, I piped a ribbon and a bow around the bottom part of the cake. For leaves, use icing tip#67 to pipe it.

This cake was made for 3 celebrants in mind and , 2 men and a lady, so the cake has to be pretty much unisex. In place of the usual roses and other flowers, cluster of grapes were added instead.

First I piped a large continuous vine using tip # 10 near the edge of the cake.

I used the same tip#10 with purple buttercream to pipe a cluster of dots resembling grapes.

With tip# 104 and light yellow buttercream, pipe a cluster of petals on the empty spaces.

Finish off by piping leaves using tip#67. Pipe some small curly vines using tip#1 or 2.

This cake is perfect for that spring birthday when daffodils bloom.

Pipe the leaves using tip#18 all around the edges of the cake.

Using tip#61 and purple buttercream, pipe clusters of petals.

With tip#104 pipe pink blossoms and add yellow dots in the middle with tip#2.

For the daffodils, use yellow buttercream. For the base, use leaf tip #67 and pipe 6 leaf-like petals in a circle. Next, using round tip # 10, pipe in circles building up the middle of the flower. Then with round tip # 3, pipe a squiggly line on top of it in a circle.
