Hi, I haven't posted in awhile but I am getting back to cakes after taking a break for a few months. My sister would like me to make her cake.

This is the cake that she wants and I am not sure how to go about it. I cannot find an in stock hydrangea cutter anywhere for starters. Does anyone know where I can get one to make flowers like these? How far ahead can I make the flowers for this cake. I have made flowers but would like to work on them ahead of time and do not want them to fade. Also any advice on coloring them? I need basically the same shades of pink. Shoud I use luster dust? Do these flowers nee stamens or what else can I use for the centers? Any help at all is appreciated!! thanks
Scott Woolley has a hydrangea cutter on his site and Nick Lodge has hydrangeas in one of his videos (I forget which one exactly.) Nick's videos are available at Global Sugar Art. Oh, I forgot to add, these are gumpaste flowers from Scott and Nick.
I have this cutter that I use.

You can make them ahead of time. If you don't want them to fade don't color them until closer to the wedding. Or store in a dark dry place.
Can only answer the cutter questions. Good Luck.

I have some instructions where you use a normal 4 petal blossom cutter. PM me if you would like them.

incidentally your sister has excellent taste that is a lovely cake.

Jenn, thanks for the link to that site!
That cake is beautiful. I love it's simplicity and elegance. Oh, and it's pink-ness
