Just knead in some tylo powder (gum tex) and let them dry for 1-2 weeks in a cardboard box. This will makes them very hard but they will keep their shape when placed in buttercream and humid weather. It will take up to 4-5 hours before they get really soft.

Louise how do you keep you gum paste flowers from going soft and weepy in hot weather?

Paulette: The roses is just white from the gum paste I use a brand called Pettinice.

Melanie: The strawberry is a powder mixture as I need to be sure that it will set properly in the heat. Squires kitchen have such powders I recon.

Kathy: I transfered the monogram by tracing it with a pencil on top of the plaque. I then painted it with powder color mixed with clear alcohol.

Becky: Hehe well locally it was close to 30C not 40C though (pheew) but even the very dry roses did get soft because of the humidity. So I am glad we only deal with this in the summer time and not year around.

Andrea Kopp: I dont have a recipe for it as I use the dumb safe way and use a powder version. You can get it from squires. But you can find a recipe online easy and then you maybe just have to adjust the gelatine part with a 1-2 extra sheets I think.

Radja Widjaja: well since I use the powder version mousse I have not had any trouble so far. But I have to keep my cake in the fridge just until 1 hour before serving. But the Weddingcake did sweat like crazy. when it got served but so did all the guest

Rachel: Well since so many have asked about I think I will try and see if I can find a good one to post about. (this one was a powder mix)

Nina: Hi hi… jeg køber både her fra og fra England mest. Besøg gerne http://www.kageportalen.dk for mere info om kager og kagegale mennesker.

Shira: I will se if I can make a post about the cake recipes. I found them while browsing online.

loana: The peach ones are Hydrangea flowers. Very easy to make as you can buy a cutter and veiner to make them. Look for Sunflower Sugar Art online.

Cynthia: will work out something for the strawberry mousse.

Sharon: The R is backwards in their monogram.

Lol. Jeg troede at jeg skulle finde et billede af en frodig amerikansk dame, men så er vi jo næsten naboer i Kbh! Har lige fundet dig igennem et link fra en læser på marthastewartweddings.com, hvor der er en sektion til cupcakes. Efter jeg gik igang med min bryllupsplanlægning er jeg blevet vild med disse smukke ting, som man sågar må spise. Håber bryllupet blev en success! Køber du dine ting over nettet eller her i Danmark? Go’ weekend!
