What do you think of my gum paste peonies? I have been working on them the last couple of days. It is my second go with peonies and I must say that they look difficult to make, but they are quite easy to make.
It is the preparation of all the petals that takes time. I have used a lot of small foam pieces to keep all the petals in place while drying.
I have been thinking on giving them a little petal dust, but Im not sure? I think that I will have to make a little “test” peony to see how it looks.
Happy Caking!
Louise

Any chance you could do a tutorial on your peonies? I have seen others and they aren’t as realistic as yours?
