I need to make plumerias for cupcake toppers...how do i do these? can i make them out of fondant and not gumpaste so people will actually want to eat them. Also, I bought some gum paste flowers for half of the cupcakes...if people eat these will it be okay? Thanks for your help! I need a tutorial or somethin'!

I can't help on the plumeria's but I'll give you a bump since I would like to know too. I used to have a white plumeria tree in my front yard when I lived in HI. Are you doing an Hawaiian themed party?
About the gumpaste, my then 3 y/o son ate 17 gumpaste daisies I had made and although it pained him a bit going to the bathroom, he survived and thought they were "really yummy". HTH

I would think you could use fondant they would just need more drying time. Maybe you could pm the person that made this cake? Wish I could be more help.

so gumpaste wont kill anyone though right?

Oh no, gumpaste is totally edible.... just crispy.

Plumeria AKA Frangipani. Can be made out of MMF for toppers. Here's a tutorial http://www.fira.com.au/Frangipani.htm

Thanks so much for the great tutorial, Seaqueen!

Yes, thank you!
