Decorating a small 4" cake?
How about real flowers? there are many that are edible (make sure they haven't been sprayed with anything though!)

You know what would be really cute? Make a blue and white striped or floral square out of fondant (or other colors, I'm just partial to those :D ). Cut the ends of it into narrow fringe, and then drape the square over the top of the cake to look like a tablecloth. Mold some strawberries (super easy shape to do) out of fondant, and arrange them on the fringed square. Then, if you have a daisy cutter, make some white daisies with yellow centers and put them here and there on the cake.



You can also make duff-style roses out of fondant. Cut three circles the same size, or five circles for a more elaborate rose. Lay the circles out so that the edges are overlapping a little bit, and then roll them up. Cut the roll in the middle and fan the petals out a little bit with your fingers and you'll have duff roses. Here's my duff roses: http://darkmindseye.deviantart.com/art/T...



You could make ribbon roses too. Cut a strip of fondant and fold it in half, longwise. Then roll it up, pinching and ruffling it, until you have a ribbon rose. A ring of ribbon roses around the side of the cake, with a ruffled fondant drape (like a skirt on a tablecloth, I guess I'm on a tablecloth theme today) would be cute.



Have fun!
Reply:what about daisies? or if you cannot do that tkae a pattern shape and make it a circle like with a shell shape make 5 into a circle and put a steam that would be preety cool.
