Hi, My first request for Hydrangea flowers. I was just wanting some opinions on which brand or where u got yours and how you like them? I looked at GSA and saw the sunflower sugar art cutters and center mold is that the way to go? I just wish it wasn't so expensive! any thoughts or ways to cut corners?
Thanks so much!

I have the sunflower mold and it really is worth the money.I had a wedding cake in June and she wanted hydrangeas all around/omtop the cake so I bought the cutter and veiner...The were so easy to make and I airbrushed them in different hues..She was very pleased!!

Thanks so much I will go ahead with that, did you also get the center mold as well? or what did you do for the centers?

No..I didn't get the centre mold..I just piped 4 dots with BC for each flower.

Oh duh that is a great Idea! Thanks so much

Why buy extra molds when you don't have to

I use Petalsweets tutorial, and I bought the GSA set with two different sized cutters and a two piece silicone mold (SV-020). I make the centers by hand. Labor intensive, but they come out so pretty!

I do recommend Scott Clark Woolley's cutters and veiners for hydrangeas. I looked around for a while and decided on his and they work really well. I also got the hydrangea foliage leaf cutter and veiner at the same time. His instructions are each to follow, the price was cheap and he shipped them out immediately. I use them all of the time.

OK wish I saw this site when looking everywhere for a decent oak leaf cutter/veiner for a wedding cake I did. i needed realistic, not cartoony, which is what I ended up with. I ordered 3 different cutters and ended up spending about $50 on them and they didn't turn out 1/2 as well as I had hoped they would.

So, thanks for the site, it's bookmarked now!
