Sugar craft orchids

[Nic100]

So, another hobby of mine is cake decorating and I'm attending a sugarcraft orchid workshop in a couple of weeks. We're going to make cymbidium, dendrobium and cattleya flowers and I'm trying to plan ahead so that mine somewhat resemble actual species / hybrids... that's assuming they even resemble orchids.

For the dendrobium I'm going to aim for Dendrobium Polar Fire - simple colours.

For the cat and cym I'm open to suggestions - although I want to keep painting somewhat simple. I'm leaning towards a creamy yellow for the cym - maybe Cymbidium Pure Sarah 'Starburst'?

Suggestions VERY welcome! And pics too of course would be very handy!

Thanks everyone!

Wow, cool thing to do.

I'm not sure what to suggest, but I like your idea of Polar Fire I could imagine that in sugar.

Mmm - I like the idea of it lasting forever! This all depends on me being able to pull it off. I've got the roses covered, but orchids are a little more complicated!
