I really have two questions.
How do you keep flowers attached to side of cake? Are they not too heavy for wires inside stir straws, or will this work.

Can you mix fondant with gumpaste to make flowers? Will it take longer to dry if you can? Thanks

I found out you can add tylose powder tp fondant to create gumpaste.....so I will do that thanks...never mind

If you put the straws in at an angle, not straight into the side, it will hold the flowers.

You can add Tylose powder to RI to get GP. You can also add gum tex to fondant to make GP. If you mix fondant and GP you get a 50% mix that is good for beginning flowers, because it doesn't dry as fast as GP and gives you more time to work with it.

I think I have already made all blunders possibme, or I hope there are no more hehe...forgot to put wires into flowers, they are hard now I can't.....tried to insert rose and it broke, broke leaf off daisy .....I sure hope i have enough unbroken to decorate my birthday cake.....man it is a lot of work
