I wish I had seen this post two weeks ago. I searched all over for directions on making a gumpast gerbera. I finally made it with trial and error. A groom wanted one for a boutenier on a tux cake. When I got to the wedding they were wearing roses. Can't explain that one. Anyway, I would also love to see a photo tutorial. |

Here is how I do my gerber daisy's.
Step 1
Make a fondant ring
Step 2
cut out a flower using a punch cutter from CKproducts.com
Step 3
Lay your cut out flower inside of ring
Step 4
Cut out another punch flower
Step 5
Add a drop of water to the center of the flower in step 3 then lay on your second cut out and push the center in slightly
Step 6
Using a small regular daisy cutter (mine came with a flower kit from wilton) cut out 2 of them. Using a toothpick draw lines in the center of the petal, I just kind of drag it through.
Step 7
Layer these the same way you did the punch outs.
Step 8
Roll a ball of MMF, squish it down slightly and dot with the tip of a tooth pick
Step 9
Air brush your flower and your done!! I let them dry on the ring for about 2 days. You can pre color the fondant so you don't have to air brush them, I just find it is more realistic looking and brighter colors when you do the airbrush.
I hope this helps, not the best tutorial but hopefully will help some!
Thanks
Dee

I just love it when all these tutorials come up....... they are so detailed and made to look so simple.
Now I will also try and make some of these daisies.
Thank you, everyone!! |

I hope it is OK to bump up this thread.
Those look really, really good! I have never worked with gumpaste before. Can I just use fondant and it look sort of similar? I honestly don't care if they look quite as nice as yours, I just want the person to look at the the flower and say "Oh, that is supposed to be a gerber daisy."  |

Mom2ANC. I just started using gumpaste and I love it !
Its very easy to work with and it rolls real thin.
I think you will like it if you want to give it a try !
I just bought the premade kind to practice with . |
