After last week's focus on preparing components, I was looking forward to this week's finished products. Making fondant/gum paste flowers is time consuming, but fun!
Here's what we did in Lesson 2:
- Created the bow
- Created pieces for the calla lily (more about that next week)
- Finished the rose
- Finished the carnations
I didn't like the bow at all. I found it impossible to glue the bow loops together in a way that they would stick. I think this would be easier to assemble before the loops completely dried so they would be a little more malleable. The roses were a bit complicated, but my fingers started cooperating and figuring out the process after the first few layers of petals. Carnations are the easiest flower, but I don't think I've figured out how to make the top of them look full.
The key to making fondant/gum paste flowers? The thinner the layers, the better.
