This is one of my favourite tools. It is a simple and easy silicone flower veiner and used together with small 5-petal flower cutters it makes beautiful little sugar flowers.
The flower cutters I use most with it is: 5-petal (Orchard Products) and Petunia flowers(Tinkertech Two). When I make the sugar flowers I use sugar paste with a little CMC to make it hold its form when drying. You can buy the flower veiner here, the petunia cutter here and here.
Note: There are two different sizes of the petunia cutter by Tinkertech Two that is best to use with the silicone veiner.

5-petal flower cutters

Thanks for responding. I think I have seen that tutorial before, but I kept thinking ‘fondant, fondant flowers’ and not gumpaste! Thanks so much, my flower veiner has come in, I just need to order the cutters and I’m set to go!

I’ve named them gumpaste flowers due the search engines
Have fun with the flowers.

Hi!! I was just wondering for the petunia cutters from Tinkertech, there’s alot of different ones on the referred weblink – do you happen to know which # it is that I should be ordering? ie, 435, 504? I love how the flowers look on your cupcakes and am so excited to try it out! I also ordered the flower veiner, and put your website down in the ‘where I heard about their website’ in case there’s referral bonuses or anything
Thanks!

The flower veiner will be you best tool ever. You can use it for other types of flower like different 5 petal Flowers (cutters) and Primrose cutters.

I would not clean them in the dishwasher. I clean my silicone mold in warm soapy water, rinse and then left to dry. In fact all my cake tools are always cleaned by hand.

Sunflower Sugar Art should have the veiner and petunia cutters. Tinkertech also have the petunia cutters.

Debbie DellaCamera: Tylo powder (CMC) is carboxy methyl cellulose. Its synthetic so it is cheaper than Gum Tragacanth but both brand works the same. You will need this for flower, figure making ect. I always have this at home. It also makes the best edible glue.

In your description above regarding how you make the sugar paste flowers you mention CMC. Could you please tell me what that is. I am new at this.

Hi Louise,
I was wondering where I’d be able to find out about coupon codes for the veiners on decorate the cake site?
