I didn't find a tutorial anywhere, but I can tell you what to do, if you have the stuff.

I used a heart cutter for my lily shape. I also made some little cones, out of computer paper for them to dry over, dusted with pwd sugar.

First, form the stamen on a piece of floral wire. I rolled out a piece of fondant/gumpaste to the size I wanted & put the wire into it. Put aside to dry (I did a whole bunch of these at once.)

Roll out the fondant/gumpaste for the lilies. Use the heart cutter to make the lilies. (Keep the f/g that you are not working on covered with plastic wrap.) Shape the cone of the lily over the paper cone & use a paintbrush with water to "glue" it in shape. Leave a small hole in the bottom, so the wire will fit through without breaking the lily, when adding the stamens. Repeat process till all done.

After they've dried, put a small piece of f/g in the bottom of the lily cone & slip the stamen wire through. Let set till dry.

I hope this helps, if you can't find a tutorial with pictures! thumbs_up.gif
