Written Instructions:
Kim Patino of "Coffee and Cakes in Frodsham" demonstrates how to make sugars flowers for decorating cakes. These lovely wedding cake decorating ideas are so impressive and not difficult to make.
To make your bouquet of sugar flowers:
1. To make your first rose, you need to make a bud on a wire. You need to buy some florist paste, you can get this from any good standard sugar craft shop. To do this; take a piece of cake wire or florist wire. Cut it about 10 cm long and make a small bent hook in one end. This little hook shape will secure the bud.
2. Next; take approximately a pea size portion of icing paste and mould it into a ball - feed the wire through the ball of paste from the sharp end of your wire up to the hook. This creates the first stage of your bud. You need to make a few of these (make as many of them as you need to create your bouquet of flowers).
