I have this set and tried doing 2 small cakes for my daughters bday today. When i got around to decorating them with BC i was having a hard time giving it the flower shape. It was more like a round cake. Is this pan best to work w/Ganache poured or Fondant to give it a better shape? Has anyone had any success doing it w/BC. suggestions? Pictures i can see?

thanks,
Kat

I would start inside the petal and work out to the round part. With each petal. That is the only way I found to work it out.

I made my wedding cake with the petal pans. It's in my photos. This was my first wedding cake and I really didn't have much experience cake decorating. I crumb coated the enitre thing and then applied 3 more thin layers of bc icing(as thin as the crumb coat layer). I then piped sotas over it all and placed roses in between each of the 'petals' of the pans. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. I got so frustrated with the set and never used it again icon_mad.gif

The cake was for one of my sister's birthday (she was turning the big 50). After trying to work with it and failing icon_cry.gif , I just made it into the yellow basket of flowers in my photos.

debiashwood,

I tried doing that and it still didn't work.

I'm anixously awaiting for the answer also thumbs_up.gif
