Do you guys remember the geometric abstract cake I shared a few months ago, inspired by Marina Sousa’a Craftsy class?

Well, some people asked me how I made those diamond and circle pieces.

So, I did a tutorial to help you guys along…Enjoy! 🙂

To make these cupcakes, you will need the following supplies:

Yellow gumpaste
Black gumpaste
Black edible marker
Rolling pin
Paintbrush
Big and small circle cutters

These are the instructions:

Step 1:
Roll our yellow and black gumpaste.

Place them randomly on top of the yellow gumpaste.
