Anyone out there know where I can find styrofoam cones (vs making them out of fondant/GP)? I need to make some flowers to stick on the side of a cake (cascading) and need the cones to help make the flowers a little lighter. Every fraction of an ounce is going to count. icon_confused.gif

Thanks!!

There's a YouTube video out as well for making roses and the creator uses styrofoam eggs for the centres. I've purchased some in different sizes and did a trial run but the egg I used was too big. I'm wondering if anyone has tried these? I'm thinking that the top of the egg is not pointy enough and may have to carve it a bit using my hot craft knife. A bit of a pain but quite a bit cheaper than the celbuds.

I have often thought about using the cellbuds as I hate making the ones out of gumpaste - it always takes so long. Those little things certainly are expensive! Those of you that use them - do you like them? Do you just use them like you would a gumpaste cone?

OR you can buy the little round styro balls at Michaels and pinch the end of them to make a cone and save a lot of money. icon_wink.gif

They are used as the "base" - instead of a lump of gumpaste or fondant. It makes the roses a LOT lighter when you use a styro base.

Loucinda... I like this idea too! I'm going to go to Michaels/JoAnns tomorrow and check out the sizes and costs.

I can not seem to figure out how to attach a pic of the cake I'll hopefully be replicating (depends on the outcome of the taste testing to be scheduled soon).

THANKS TONS!
