Lately, I have been watching several videos on how to make life-like botanically correct gumpaste flowers. I certainly appreciate the time and talent that it takes to make a gumpaste flower that is indistinguishable from its real life counterpart, but there's just something about fantasy flowers that I adore.
Maybe it's because they're easier to make, and that anyone can make them. Or maybe it's because I'm only limited by my imagination, and not just flowers the world has to offer.
Like this flower here, which spans about 15 inches from top to bottom. I made lots and lots and lots of petals for this flower, but when it's the only element on an otherwise bare cake, you can't be stingy with the petals. It seems like I made a bazillion, but I filled 3 full sheet pans with petals.
I have been getting SO many compliments on my You Tube tutorials lately, and it has inspired me to make more. This is one of the cakes I want to film into a tutorial. I have some footage on the computer and hopefully Chaddy and I will have time this week to sit down and polish it up a little. With any luck, you'll have a new tutorial video to see here next week! (keep your fingers crossed!!) Thanks and have a great week!!
