I am looking for directions to make this flower out of gum paste. Does anyone have the directions?

Thanks in Advance!

Dana

Hopefully someone can answer this for you!

Dana do you have a tiny flower cutter with an ejector? I have not made Lilacs per say but have used that cutter and I think it would work. I would make an oval sausage of paste, cut out about a million of these little blossoms, put them on a foam cel mat and press something small in the center to make the flowers cup up on the sides, maybe the end of a small artists paintbrush? Then gum glue them starting around the base of the oval and filling in by overlapping the flowers. When dry, dust with petal dust, but I think you would have to be pretty gentle to not knock them loose from the oval.

I have a cake that I posted with purple wisteria, the lilacs are thicker on the bottom and thinner on top...so

Shirley's idea works if you keep that in mind to make the bulk of the flower toward the bottom.

How i make gp lilacs:

need small scissors
small ball tool
cel pad
thin wire

Using a small piece of gumpaste, roll a small ball (to keep flowers varily even i use a pearl mold in a size 6mm) elongate the ball and insert a hooked wire, then using the scissors cut a x in the top fatter end of the ball to form the petals, then using the ball tool and the cell pad thin and form the petals. set aside and let dry, Takes about 200 little flowers to make one sprig.
