Has anyone made the Hibiscus Flower from Fondant..I'm doing fine with the petals but oh my gosh..the Stamen - how does that come about..the cake has to be done by the 22nd of Sept. thanks in advance to all who respond to this..your help is invaluable, happy icing, C.
Well...
I can tell you what I did but I can also tell you that im sure its not the best way. lol It worked for me but im SURE there is an easier way. 
(sorry I dont have any pictures either)
I made mine out of both royal icing and fondant.
When I used royal Icing, I made the stamens flat on a surface over waxed paper, let them dry, then stuck them in a dot of icing. They were flat on one side (the back) but, it was the best I could do at the time.
When I made them out of fondant, I mixed the fondant with gum-tex, let dry over night, then placed in the flowers with a dot of icing.
For both ways, I went back and added detail with the royal icing. (the little dots on the end of the stamen...whatever theyre called lol)
So, thats what I did but I would love to know what everyone else does! Im sure I would be able to save myself a lot of trouble. 
Thanks!
Heather
