Today I am going to make a demonstration on how to make some cute flowers and leaves for cup cake or cake.

The tools and ingredients we need :

1. Please ignore the 1st pic.. ^_^.. we just need the white long curve mold to place the leaves later.

2. Flower and leaf cutter. This is from Wilton. You can have it from other brand or non brand from local bakery shop.

3. I am using this palate with holes to place my flowers later to maintain the shape..

4. Thick and thin sponge to shape the flower. (Opss.. I did not take the thin sponge photo.. but will show it in the process ^_^) and we need the green tools which called the ball tools..




5. Colours for the flower and leaf. I am using pink and green from Wilton for this projects.. Please ignore other colours.. I am using it for other project *wink*..

6. Important ingredients.. I am using Satin Ice gum paste..

7. A little bit of Icing sugar to dust my surface so it won't stick..




Ok here goes..


This is how the gum paste looks like.. Cut the amount of gum paste you want and cover it back and put back into the container to prevent from harden.




Knead 2 ball of gum paste.. just small 1 (Depends on how many flowers and leaves you need). Tint the gum paste.. 1 for green and 1 for pink.

Note: I keep all the other gum paste inside a plastic to prevent from harden.




Always dust your table surface with icing sugar before rolling the gum paste. 1st I am doing the leaves.. Roll the gum paste into desire thickness..

..and using the leaf cutter, cut as many as you want.




Here are mine.. ^_^, The balance you still can make more leaves.. knead it and roll again.




Use knife tool.. or you can use the back of a small knife too.. make some lines on the leaf..




Here's mine.. ^_^




I will put the leaves on this cylinder mold to have a natural shape of a leaf.. we don't want it too flat ya.. ^_^

Leave it for at least 3 hours but I prefer to leave if for an over night. The leaves will harden according to the mold shape..




Same goes to the flowers..




Place the flowers on the thin sponge.. and use the big ball to shape every petals.. as on photo.. Just press on every petals..




Next step.. transfer the flower from the thin sponge to the thick sponge and use the small ball to press on the middle of the flower. It will automatically create a beautiful loop for the flowers..




While the flower still have their loop shape.. quickly transfer to this palate (You can use other tray with hole if you don't have this palate.. may be use the egg tray, covered with tissue or aluminum foil).

Take a small ball of white gum paste and put on the middle hole of the flower (Do this on the palate ya) and press the flower slowly inside the palate hole and leave it for few hrs or over night.




Here's mine.. I am done..




I am making some tiny flowers too.. ^_^




I am ready to decorate.. ^_^ (Make sure everything harden before use.. prefer to leave everything for over night or couple of days before using)

How to make teddies was listed on my tutorial.. do search for it ya...

All the best and enjoy!! ^_^
