Hi,
Can anyone tell me of how to make the "Fresia flowers"? They are my favorite and I thought it would be beautiful, and delicate, on a wedding cake that I'm making. This flower would also match their wedding colors ...

I have never seen one done in either fondant or BC... so if anyone could also attach a pic of one made, I'd be extremely grateful.

Thanks SO much in advance.

There are many who have made it in gumpaste (that's why you hav en't seen it in fondant.)

Here is a pic of one found on http://www.goldencrownpetals.com/i_single_gumpaste_flowers

Just do a search for it in gum paste

I meant to write "gum paste" not fondant, so sorry about that.

What I am actually ooking for is a tutorial on how to actually make the flower. I could try to wing it... but I've not made gumpaste flowers before... so might end up freak-ish instead of "pretty". I'll keep looking.

thank you for any help.

I don't know where you live but you might check your library for books on gumpaste flowers.

Thanks for your replies. The brides colors are lilac-ish.. (which would match the purple freesia flowers). So I'll keep checking.

Thanks.

When you do a search, you'll need to spell it correctly: freesia.

I've never made freesias, but I've done other flowers with that texture. The cheapest way to achieve that on fondant or gumpaste is to buy some cornhusks (near the tortilla mix in the grocery store). Dust the corn husk with cornstarch and lay it on top of the fondant or gumpaste, roll over it once, and you've got that texture.
