I just realized that I really dont have all the right tools to properly make hydrangeas. Where's the best place to get this stuff? There's soo many options online it seems but I dont want to spend too much if I can help it.

I just placed an order with Global Sugar Arts for hydrangea cutters/veiner. Cost was comparable to other sites. Their communication is very good and they shipped it out right away. I hope it's in my mail today when I go home for lunch.

Try Michaels or Hobby Lobby if you have one by you. I'm working on a hydrangea cake for my niece this weekend. I'm using a flower shaped cutter approximately 1/4 inch diameter. I'm just rolling out the gumpaste using a fluffy paintbrush to apply powdered color, cutting them and shaping them on the end of the paintbrush. I also am using shaped cake balls for the base of the flower and attaching the individual flowers to that with royal icing.
Back to your original question, lol, I know I've seen the cutters at Hobby Lobby.

Funny, I just finished making about 200 Hydrangeas... icon_eek.gif I have the cutters and veiners that Global Sugar Arts carries and they are fantastic! The only thing that was time consuming to me was making the little buds. After I made them all, I came across this nifty little tool--would have made the buds so much easier...:http://www.firstimpressionsmolds.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2190 I may end up ordering it anyway--the hydrangeas are so easy!!
