Gum paste peonies

by Louise 138 Comments

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?

    Thank you everyone for your sweet comments. I will play a little with the petal dust. I am thinking on a tutorial but please be patience. It takes time, with the photos and writing. So I cant say when there will be a tutorial ready.

    Gabby: Did your cutters come with instructions? Mine did. But I ended up just placing the petals the way that I liked.

    Jennifer: Try and just start with the more “simple” flowers like Sweet peas, roses and carnations. The book you mention is a really good one so do open it.

    Kimberly: I think so too. Yes, I do know Sweetopia, just dont know why it wasn’t on my list? But I have added it now.

    Rebecca: I think each row took about 10 petals.

    Alessandra: I cant say when the tutorial will be ready. It takes time, with the photos and writing.

    Jackie P: Its the Pink color by Sugar Flair a UK brand. Im not sure where to find it in the US?

    Sarah: Tak, Jeg køber for det meste min fondant og jeg bruger den fra KageButikken. Dog tilsætter jeg noget past.æggehvide og tylose + lidt Crisco når jeg laver blomster som roser og de her pæoner. Er det alm mindre blomster og figure mm bruger jeg blot fondant og lidt tylose.

    jenny: Yes, Jackie makes some beautiful flowers. Love her site 🙂

    Jany: I used the ones from Colette Peters. But many brands makes peony cutters.

    Hold da op hvor er den bare flot, det må ha taget sin tid.
    Vil høre om du selv laver din fondant? Hvis du køber den, hvor køber du den så fra? Vil rigtig gerne igang med at modellere og lave fine blomster, har prøvet med fondant indæltet med tylosepulver, men syns bare ikke det er så godt, det ligner jo næsten modelervoks du bruger 🙂

    Peonies are my favourite flower. They turned out great. I think a little dust would be perfect. I noticed you have a lot of sites that you follow, do you know of Sweetopia.net?

    Beautiful! I’m just beginning to teach myself sugar flowers. Okay, to be fair, just the 5 blossom flowers but I have the Simplifying Sugar Flowers books – just too scared to crack it open yet. LOL

    Thank you for the comments. Peonies are so HOT at the moment. I seem them on cakes almost everywhere. There may be a tutorial on them.

    For any questions on which cutter I used: Mine was from Colette Peters. But there are alot of great peony cutters out there in the cake decorating shops.

    Monika: Love your tutorial. Very similar to the way I did mine 🙂

      Hi,beautiful flowers. I am just beginning to master the art of the peonie. I love that there are different varieties. Magnolias are also a favorite. I just purchased a peony cutter set from global sugar art.

    Wonderful peonies! I also fell in love with peonies and made a tutorial on my blog 🙂
    On the lower right side is the google translator…
    It seems, peonies are in the moment very popular flowers in the sugar world 😉
