Hi guys
A fellow CCer wanted to know how I did my frangipani flowers so I made a very quick tutorial for her... if anyone else is interested it is at this link www.fira.com.au/Frangipani.htm

It's not a spectactular tutorial, but it gives you the basic idea.

Hopefully it's helpful to some of you.

Beautiful flowers

Question: What is the pink chalk you put on the flowers at the end?

thank-you

the pink chalk is just that... chalk - non-toxic every day artist chalk... not that the toxicity is an issue as I have never had anyone eat my flowers!

If it was doing special flowers (not just a tut) I would use lustre dusts or such... much nicer finish.

umm... guess it's the one kids use... it's just artist chalk, non-toxic... and to powder it up I grate it with a tea strainer (metal one)... i'm pretty sure all chalk is the same -- someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Thank-you feefs for answering my question. I thought that is what it was but since I am still new to a lot of cake decorating concepts, labels, etc. I didn't want to assume.

thanks! i was really wanting to know how to make these!!

re: chalk .... lots of people use chalk (kid type or the "artist" chalk) i can't seem to get myself to use it on food ... but even luster dust has a lable that says it is for non-food items --- and I dust it on EVERYTHING!

Thanks for the tutorial. There is so much that I don't know about cake decorating that it can seem overwhelming when I look at other people's pictures. Tutorials like this make it so much easier for those of us who are just beginning. I will definately give this a try. Thanks again. icon_smile.gif

This was a great tutorial - thanks! thumbs_up.gif Now I need to find that cutter; maybe I will take a round metal one and just shape it myself. Approximately how long is this cutter?

Hey Deb
The cutters come in different lengths. If you have a rose petal cutter you can use that (the non-jagged edge).. it is a little fatter than a true frangipani, but it can work. The size of the petal is purely your choice... I had to make some larger ones for my cake I made and had a friend make me a cutter especially as I couldn't find one big enough... so long as it doesn't look bizare anything from 1cm to 5cm (sorry, not very good at inches) would work just fine -- the 1cm would be a little fiddly but still possible.

Thank you so much for doing this! Explaining how to make a flower is one thing, but a picture tutorial is fabulous!!
