Gum Paste Flowers

         

            I made Chrysanthemums and my own take on a wildflower.  My first time practicing and making flowers for cakes and sweets. Had great time doing it. : ) 

• First you need gumpaste. I purchased Wiltons Gumpaste mix from my local craft store, or you can order it from amazon and ebay.

• After you have the gumpaste you need a flower cutter and a veining tool, balling tool. For the daisy you need three sizes of daisy cutters and for my wildflower you need a pansie cutter. You will also need any type of leaf cutter.

Chrysanthemums

• you will need to make 2 of each size flower cut out.
• using your veinging tool you will curl each petal and over lap your flowers from largest to smallest.
• you bill a piece of yellow gumpaste into a ball and use a toothpick for texture.
• with you leaf cut out. cut out 2 leafs per Chrysanthemum.  Use your veing tool to curl petals.
• Glue pieces together with drop of water. Allow to dry and harden.

Wild Flower

• Cut out your flowers with a pansie cutting tool.
• Use your ball tool to curl up the petals on a piece of foam.
• Put flower in a flower cup and allow to dry and harden.
• when wild flower is semi hard and no longer pliable make center ball for pollen.
• make leaves same chrysantemums leaves.

Tada! Here is the finished Product!
