I made a batch of vanilla cupcakes decorated with poured fondant. All the flowers are made with gum paste. I have painted the royal icing borders with edible gold lustre dust. I think look very sweet and Shabby Chic.

Happy Caking!

    Hi Natascha

    I simply cut out a smaller 5-petal flower and place it over the other flower. Place them in the flower veiner together and press. Then they will look like one flower. You can read more about the flowers in the: “How to make sugarcraft flower”.

    I hope that was the answer you was looking for.

    Louise, these are such beautiful creations, thankyou for sharing your talent with us.
    I would love to know how you made the lighter center on the blue flower please? Did you paint it with white dust? Or have you diluted the colour with alcohol?
    Many thanks,
    Natasha
