How To Pack Gumpaste Flowers?
Decorating By sillywabbitz Updated 8 Sep 2010 , 2:01am by sillywabbitz
I am delivering a cake on Friday. There are gumpaste roses between each tier. And a rose topper. I'm using styrofoam seperators and will be placing the roses into the sytro then the topper.
I plan on assembling on site. What is the best way to pack the gumpaste roses so they don't break. Roses are on toothpicks and they're all stuck in pieces of styrofoam standing straight up. Is this the best way to move them...is there anything I can tuck around them to help keep the petals from breaking off?
This is a first for me so any advice is greatly appreciated.
TIA
Toilet paper works great!

Indeed it does! I had to make a bunch of gumpaste orchids once (not good ones, mind you. ) and kept them all in a tupperware loaded up with TP. Worked like a charm!
I transport some stuck in styrofoam and some in a tupperware container lined in Large bubble wrap (bottom and sides). I've broken very few.
I cut bubble wrap ;collars; to place around gumpaste flowers, stops the leaves and the petals crashing against each other. I also place them on foam before I transport
Awesome everyone. Thanks for the tips. I will definately try them. I made extras but still worry
