Author Message CenterpieceSweets Junior Member Joined: Dec 05, 2007 Posts: 71 Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2008 1:16 pm  I have been getting a lot of pm's aksing how to make these, When the site went down so did my instructions so here is a basic rundown on how to make these. Sorry it took so long to get these up. Check my gallery for more photos of my topical flower cakes. basically using a 124 rose tip make a 5 little blobs in a star pattern.. then to make the petals you start each one 10-20 degree angle with small end of tip up, and go up and over the little blob and end where you started while shaking your hand to get the ripples. then you can airbrush the center a darker color to draw your eye in, then put your airbrush in low so it spits spots and use some grown to make little spots in the middle, last add the yellow centers to them try that best i can do for now. thnaks. playingwithsugar Forum SuperStar!

Is it safe to assume that these are piped hibiscus?

I cannot believe they are buttercream - oh, I can't wait to try these out. I am so bad at BC flowers, my roses are always wonky and I really can't do any other flowers.......how pathetic is that? Thanks for the detailed instructions ~ you are a gem. Leahw207 Junior Member Joined: Mar 21, 2007 Posts: 78 Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2008 12:44 am  Those are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! OCakes Frequent Member Joined: Oct 16, 2005 Posts: 333 Location: Sonoma, California Birthday: Jan 28 Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2008 1:14 am  I like that word "wonky" - my flowers normally turn-out that way as well, so I'm very excited to try these, thank you so much for sharing! If mine turn-out half as good, I will be thrilled!

My suggestion as with learning any sort of butter cream decoration is to break it down. try just making one leaf over and over then work on getting the whole shape together. Oh how I wish I had a vid camera I could make a video..
