Peony in love....

This flower seems difficult to make.... however with patience and time, it certainly creates an impressive look to your cake...

What do you need?


Flower paste or modelling paste in red
scissors or cutting wheel
large 5 petal blossom cutter
foam pad
a ball tool / I just use the round knob of a pen as i don't have the proper ball tool
tooth pick
former cup/ i just constructed mine using foil paper placed in a cup
sugar glue
paper towels

Method


1. Thinly roll out the modelling paste. 
2. Cut 2 large 5-petal blossoms.


3. Cut small  sections from the petal edges in V shaped.


4. Veined the petals with tooth pick.


5. Place the petals on the foam pad, and soften the edges with the knob of the pen.


6. Place the petals on the former cup.
7. Repeat step 3-5 to the other set of petals.
8. Apply sugar glue to the centre of the petals on the former cup. Place the second set of petals on top of the first one. Add paper towel in between the 2 sets to create space between the 2 layers. These 2 layers will become the outer layer of the peony.


9. Now cut another 5 sets of 5-petal blossom. Cover all 4 flowers under the glass to prevent them from drying.


10. Repeat step 3-5. Fold the edges of each petal to the centre.


11. Fold again each petal to the centre but this time in upward manner. Pinch the base of the petal so that they are stable and in place.


12. Apply sugar glue to the base of the prepared outer petals. Place the petals in the centre of the prepared outer petals.


13. Repeat step 10 to 12 to the rest of the cut 5-petal blossoms.
14. Add twisted paper towel in between the petals to create space among the petals.


13. voila they are done and let them dry....
