I bought the Wilton castle set and was going to start on the flowers today but I did not realize that they were fondant flowers. I don't mind that except I have never made them. I have the floral cut outs but not the set that they are talking about in the directions. I thought they were royal icing flowers so any help with making these flowers would be appreciated. Can I just cut them out with the smallest flower cut out and put them in flower formers and add the centers or do I need the foam thing that the directions talk about. Has anyone else made different flowers for the cake or have any expereince with the flowers? Please Help!!!

Sorry, forgot to add...Can I make forget me nots that small with royal or would it be easier with the fondant?

I hate to bump my own post but I really need to do these tonight! Soes anyone out there know about fondant flowers! Thnaks

Sorry... I am not experienced enough to help with your questions, but maybe this will sent it back to the top... I know that a lot of people have done that castle... If it were me...I would go with what I know how to do and make it work...

Good luck!

i made the castle flowers. use whatever small flower cutter you have. they look good even without centers.

is there a way to make tiny buttercream flowers instead? i didn't realize those were fondant flowers either, and im doing that cake in a week or so. i'd rather do it all buttercream if any one knows which tip to use....

I am making the castle cake this month. I am planning on using the flower ejector set to make all those fondant flowers much easier.

How about little buttercream stars with a dot in the center...

You can make the flowers ahead of time out of buttercream. Since they are so small they crust and then dry in the middle also, you will need to make more because some of them will break when you move them. This is especially easy if you use any of the following flower tips, 224, 225, 129, 131. Then go back and put a center. Do them on wax or parchment paper and leave them on a cookie sheet to dry (under a ceiling fan really helps) until you need them. I have made all types of flowere this way including roses and as long as you make them ahead of time they are fine.

Use can use the swirl drop flowers from buttercream. You can freeze them if you need to to move them to the cake.

You use the large star tip. I can't remember the number.

Thanks for the help! I made them with fondant and gumpaste with just my small cutter and they turned out fine. Check out my castle to see! Thanks again.
