THERE ARE SEVERAL WEBSITES THAT GIVE THE NAMES OF EDIBLE FLOWERS. MOST FLORIST CAN ASSIST YOU WITH THIS, ALSO. I SUGGEST DIPPING THE FLOWERS IN GRANULATED SUGAR FIRST. I DIPPED THE ONES ON MY DAUGHTERS CAKE IN A MIXTURE OF POWDERED SUGAR AND WATER WITH JUST A TINT OF FOOD COLORING, THE SAME COLOR AS THE FLOWER. POWDERED SUGAR ALONE CAN LIGHTEN THE COLOR OF THE FLOWERS. I ALSO PLACES WHOLE STRAWBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, AND CHERRIES BETWEEN THE FLOWERS ON MY DAUGHTERS CAKE. I ALSO SLICED A BOWL OF THE FRUIT THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND ADDED A SMALL AMOUT OF SUGAR TOO MAKE A SYRUP. WE SPOONED THE FRUIT AND WHIPPED TOPPING OVER THE CAKE. I HAD 25 CHILDREN ATTENDING, AND NOT ONE OF THEM COMPLAINED. IF YOUR CAKE IS GOING TO BE TIERED YOU MIGHT PLACE THE DOLL ON THE EDGE OF ONE OF THE TIER, FACING THE CAKE, ARMS OUTSTRECHED (USE THE OUTSTRECHED ARMS TO PROP HER AGAINST THE NEXT TIER OF THE CAKE) AND ONE LEG BENT BACK, TOO GIVE HER THE APPERAENCE OF RUNNING. THEN PLACE ONE OF HER SLIPPERS ON THE TIER NEXT TO HER FOOT, APPERARIN AS THOUGH SHE LOST IT. HOPE THIS HELPS.
Reply:This is really easy! You can find edible flowers in most major grocery stores where they sell the fresh herbs. They are a little pricey, but not too. They are a beautiful small pink and white lilly. I found this tool at Target called The Betty Crocker Cake Decorator. You can easy learn how to make a simple boarder and use the flowers on the top edge of each tier. You can also ask the baker anywhere they make cakes for a few tips with the doll. What I am thinking is using a clean small stick, like a chop stick or a stick for kabob, put it a little off center of the cake and attach the doll using a twist tie on one of the legs where someone cannot see it. Just keep it simple. A simple boarder, a few flowers and the doll on the top.
