Greetings All,
Have a wedding cake in July. The bride wants Stephanotis flowers all over it. Is there a mold or cut out for these? Im not even sure what a stephanotis looks like. They will be done in white and periwinkle. I did see a tutorial for a dogwood type flower in the last issure of ACD, they dried them in a food dehydrator, will this work for the stephanotis?
Thanx Heather
Here's a link to Scott Clark Wooley's store. The page has Stephanitis on it and a good picture.

Thank you for the site. That's really good to know. I haven't used gumpaste flowers on a cake yet but I always planned to purchase them if I did. Making them is an art form and an incredible talent. I admire them whenever I see them but I'm just not interested in making them.
LOL! STEPHANITIS~~ lol i thought maybe fondant was sick or something! LOL! doesnt it sound like a sickness?? sorry, just had to say that! theyare beautiful though

Aahhhh..Stephanotis is a beautiful little flower that can be made from gumpaste or a combo fondant/gumpaste mix. It is very small so making a lot of them will be time consuming. Wilton has a cutter that is used to make them and they relatively simple to make. I have the instructions, if you are interestested, I can scan and e-mail them to you! Just let me know!
Thanx for the info guys, MrsMissey I PMd you for the instructions. I may wind up getting the ones from Scott Wollerys site for the different sizes. Hope to start working with those next month and get some practice in.

I make these flowers without using a cutter. If you make a ball of gumpaste, then elongate it dog bone style (thicker on either end) then insert your wire, using small sharpe sicsors cut a slit about 1/3 of the top of the ball, then cut that in half, then cut the other 2/3s of the ball into three. Using your fingers smooth out the petals some, you can use a ball tool to thin and shape the petals, i use a veining tool to mark the petals from the base up the petal about 1/2 way. dust center of the flower yellow, dust the outside bottom green.
