Many have asked me about the sugar flowers that I used on the lemon meringue cupcakes. I can tell that the flowers are called frangipani. A very “simple” flower to make as you use 5 petals in the same size. Frangipanis is often in the color combinations white/yellow or pink/yellow.
So while I was browsing for suppliers for the cutters I found this cool Frangipani tutorial online. It is with photos and is well explained. I hope that you will enjoy it and that it will help you make beautiful frangipani flowers for you cakes and cupcakes.
You can buy frangipani cutters here:
Earls Craft ‘N’ Cake
International Sugar Art Collection
Note: If you know other suppliers who have frangipani cutters please let me know and I will add them here. Thanks!
Happy Caking

Thanks so much Louise; I can’t wait to start making these. Is it absolutely necessary to have the addition of tylose/cellagen to the fondant? I usually make MMF; do you know if it’s ok to add tylose to MMF? and I’m wondering if MMF fondant would be too soft. Thanks for any feedback you can give me.

It was cool that I found this tutorial as I think it is really great.
When making these flowers you can use: gum paste/flower paste, rolled fondant/sugar paste/mmf mixed with tylo powder.
For glue I would recomend tylo glue http://www.cakejournal.com/2007/06/how-to-make-tylo-glue.html
You can get Tylo powder here:

I cannot wait to try this. What is the “glue” they are referring to? Is store bought rolled fondant ok to use as is or do I need to add the ingredients listed?
Thanks!
