Not my photo. What do you use to attach the little silver balls to the fondant flowers? And how do y’all set these up to dry so they aren’t flat. Thanks!
Hi I have a flower drying sponge mat - really cheap on Amazon and I use it all the time. I would stick the balls with a dab of royal icing in the blue colour. Or use edible glue
A little hint, it will help your dragees stay in position until they dry (I use edible glue, tylose & water) if you first take a tiny ball tool or anything with a rounded tip and make an indention in the center of the blossom. It makes a nice little cradle for the pearls. For small flowers like this, I put them inside the egg compartment of an empty egg carton.
That brings up another idea. I've used my deviled egg serving tray for a flower drying rack, too, but mostly I use empty egg cartons.
Hey Sandra, I realize this is an older post but I know some will read this for many weeks/months to come so I wanted to pointout that most Health depts will have a fit to find out people are using old used empty egg cartons to dry edible (fondant) anything. They can be tainted w/samenlla (I'm sure that's not spelled right!). A resturant I worked at got shut down because they put their fried bacon on those 18 count trays.
I appreciate the warning, kadeladi, but 99% of my flowers go on the outside, turned upside down. Anyway, the flowers I make are not for consumption. Most everything I do is for collaborations and a lot of my cakes, even, are dummies. When I do make cakes for eating, I am very careful with everything I do. I guess I should have made that clear before. Sorry, my bad :o(
