I will be demonstrating how I made this cake/appetizer stand. It will begin with the painting of the piece, then baking, and finally assembling it.
Start by either washing the plate and bowl and/or cleaning the surface to be painted with rubbing alcohol.
Center the bowl in the middle of the back of the plate. This will be where it will be glued later on. Use a china pencil to draw around the base to sh...
Start by painting the first four petals of your Tiger Lily. Load your flat brush with two colors of paint. I used orange and yellow.
