Just making up some pretty ivory / white sugar roses for the M&Ms (aka The Ms) this weekend. Will post tutorials after the wedding?
...I should really say fondant roses - they take about three days to make because of the drying process. (You do NOT want to make it all at once. ;)
Roll, shape, dry. Roll, cut, cut again, soften, adhere (x5), prim, dry. Repeat the last part until you have a flower to your liking.
Edit: S'more....
Stephanotis
Calla Lily (some call it Arum Lily??) ...it is my favourite flower. Not sure about keeping the blue ones.
Baby blue roses. Toothpick came out of the first one fine. These ones? not a chance. Will have to warn others about the picks.

ReplyDeleteKim, Will be making too many by the end of it. Of course, being me, I kind of procrastinated already. Hence the factory. ;p

ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed by your flowers. I'm also learning cake decorations at Michaels with a girlfriend. It has been years since I've seen you last and now I found you while searching for food blogs! As usual, food seems to unite us. Hope all is well and I enjoy reading your food adventures.

Merc, It has been a loooong time!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you found me. If you decide to take the fondant / gum paste course, please do let me know. That is the only one left that I haven't taken, and I would love to take it with you!
These are absolutely gorgeous. Amazing work! Wish I could learn how to make them. I bet I'll spend 3 hours working on just one!
ReplyDeleteJoy, thank you for the comment. It *does* take a long time at first, but once you get the hang of it, most of the time is spent waiting for the layers of petals to dry. :)
