Spent the day making daisies....
I should have plenty for my wedding cake next weekend, but I always make extra because you just never know what might happen!
The process is really quite simple. Roll out the 50:50 gumpaste fondant mixture very thin. Cut out flowers with a cutter (top left), use a ball tool to thin and curl the petals (top right). After drying for a few hours in a flower former, I used mostly baking cups here, I added a small yellow fondant center (bottom). The pattern was impressed with a fine cheese grater.
Why use flower formers, you ask? Have you ever seen a totally flat flower? This gives the flowers a little more realism.
Stay tuned for the finished wedding cake!
