Gum paste flowers

I learned to make gum paste flowers this week. These are the very first flowers I made. There's a rose, a stephanotis with a bud, a jasmine flower, and some leaves. This was fun to do! It's a little tricky to get the gum paste thin enough without tearing it, but once you do, it's amazing to see the flowers take shape. We made them out of white gum paste, then added color once they were dry.


These would be combined with other little sprays of flowers to make a decoration for a wedding cake. The dark shape above and to the left of the rose is another spray that a classmate made.
