Pink Hydrangeas

Pink Hydrangeas on Cake Central

These hexagon cakes were covered in white chocolate fondant. I made a total of 500 individual gum paste hydrangeas for this cake. I didn't know how I was going to color 500 hydrangeas until it dawned on me to use the dipping method. Thanks for letting me share

thanks guys for the compliments. The dipping method is pretty simple. All you do is mix some petal dust with claer alcohol (preferably everclear) and dip the flower into the alcohol mixture. Have a second cup or bowl where you can swirl the diped flower in to get rid of the excess color.

Awesome! Beautiful! Soooooooo pretty and feminine. Good thinking on the dipping. Not sure I would have thought of it. I'd probably would have airbrushed them.

When I first saw this photo I thought of you (I've seen your website) and your gorgeous work! Yet again, you've created a work of art that is breathtaking and beautifully done. Bravo!
