The flower on the cover of Stephanie Meyer's book is gorgeous and is what inspired the theme for this cake. It was for Briana, who had a Twilight: New Moon themed party for her birthday. The inside is red velvet cake with a cream cheese frosting.
The flower is actually a flaming parrot tulip. The petals have ruffled, feathery edges. To achieve this effect I pressed each petal in a tulip veiner and thinned the edges with a ball tool and let it pull away some of the gum paste.
Close up of the flower. I like how there is too much red food coloring on the petal and it looks like blood.
The birthday girls and their cake!
