@ Roxana…Lol ok.
And yes, these should be fine in a bag. I like to place them in a box with a lid coz they are less likely to break rather than putting them in a bag. These can last months. I have had some for 3 months now and they are still fine

Thank you, i get it, I’m in England and we don’t use the word ‘shortening’ very often
I’m making them for my Nana’s 80th birthday party, will they keep OK for a few days in a sealed food bag?

Hey Roxana,
I am glad to hear you are enjoying CakeJournal.
When I wrote: “Let these flowers dry overnight in flower forming cups (lightly coated with shortening)”……i meant that once you assemble your flower, you place it on a flower forming cup. However, that flower forming cup should be rubbed with little shortening to prevent the flower from stickig to this cup.
I hope this clarifies the issue

Hello. I have just found your website and i love it. I’m new to cake decorating and your tutorials make things so much easier even though they are very impressive! I just have a question to ask about the gum paste pansies, you say to leave them over night, ‘lightly coated in shortening’ what do you mean by this?
Thank you

Wow! You must have such a steady hand – I’m in awe. I can manage some fairly passable sugar paste roses but these pansies are in a different league. Thank you for the tutorial.
