Working it out is like a little bit of science, a little bit of art, and a little bit of magic!
At the moment I'm enjoying using simple colour combinations - bold ones like the black and white that we're using in an upcoming cookie class; orange and black
(guess what October theme that's for!); and fresh ones like this combination of yellow and white.
A very skilled cake artist that I know, once suggested that the addition of a bit of green often made the other colours on a cake "pop".
Daisies:
Cut out the daisy from white CMC paste, use a leaf veiner to add detail
Place in a flower former to dry the petals slightly cupped
Dust the centre of the flowers with green dusting powder [this colour is Avocado from the Rolkem Rainbow Spectrum range]
Use a little CMC glue to place the flower centres [these were made from yellow CMC paste, and cut with Jem Cutters daisy centre stamps] Allow to dry completely before placing on the cake. [Use royal icing or melted white chocolate to insure they are securely stuck on]
Happy decorating!
So, while not wanting to take anything away from the simplicity of the yellow and white, I thought some hints of green was good idea for this cake, to bring it to life. What do you think?

Yellow and white daisy cake...with a touch of green!
