Hdi Make Mini Sunflowers (Approx. 1")?
Decorating By cake-angel Updated 30 Jun 2007 , 4:42am by cake-angel
Does anyone know of a cutter or cutters small enough to make sunflowers this size?? The lady wants tiny sunflowers for cupcakes and wants them to be as 3D and realistic as possible. Can anyone help me out here??
I just measured one of the cutters (third cutter from the left of the series of daisy/sunflowers) in this JEM set to be 1" across: http://globalsugarart.com/product.php?id=16993
Use the small daisy cutter and roll the edges out slightly and then pinch the ends in. Push the center of the flower in slightly to raise the petals into a semi curved position. Center should be a small flattened ball of brown tinted fondant/gumpaste and then topped with a bit of BC colored brown using the small grass tip. Then you can tip the ends of the piped center with a bit of yellow BC applied with a toothpick. Just enough to tip the end and show, not too much.
Let them dry. Placement on the cake should be after you've already piped the stems and leaves into place.
Have fun! 
Thank you everyone! You have been very helpful!!
