I saw that quote somewhere once and never forgot about it...I think everyone loves receiving flowers, especially if they are on a cake. I love the look of fresh flowers on a baked goods but you have to make sure that they are organic and not full of pesticides!
Or you can make them yourself with gumpaste :).
I realize that not everyone has the time or patience to make gumpaste flowers but they are sooo easy to make if you have the right tools. The project can become a little time consuming, but once they dry they last forever. Just place them in a box or tin and they are ready whenever you need them. I like to stock up on them so that way when its time to decorate a cake I dont have to worry about getting flowers done..they are already made and I can just place them on the cake.
Here are some flowers I made today:
 |
| Flower cutters, flower veiners, roll'n'cut mat, small rolling pin, small off set tapered spatula, artist palette, paint brush and gum glue |
 |
| leave to dry at least 24hrs |
 |
| Here I have gumpaste tool kit, rose petal cutters and flower foam |
 |
| Pink fondant and gumpaste paste. |
 |
| Its not the nicest rose but I'm still practicing. Larger ones are a little more challenging |
Now go and make some!
