My work stuff.

This is a lily... or at least it's supposed to be

This is a broken lily petal. Oops.

Another view of the lily.

Daffodils. For some reason, I keep wanting to call them dandelions. They didn't turn out so well, but maybe next time?

The classic rose. You can't tell from this angle, but it turned out a bit... oval-y.

the rose is beautiful!!
i actually have a pair of earrings which look quite similar.
what do you use to make these, and where do you get it? my sister has a book on building those cake-flowers but she never uses it!
Elvie,
I use gumpaste (also called petal paste, flower paste, or sugar paste) to make the flowers. You can buy it at most craft stores, and sometimes even wal-mart.
Here are some links to get you started:
premade gumpaste
gumpaste powder
gumpaste kit
gumpaste recipe
daffodils are my favorite flower! although these are not perfect, I still think they are quite lovely! I love to cook and bake, you are inspiring me!!
That's a good-looking rose!
I was wondering if the gumpaste flower kit was worth the investment. I think I'll get it now.
I think your daffodils look nice.
It's a pretty basic kit as far as they go, and consequently on the cheap end, too, but if you're just starting out (like me), then I think you should give it a try.
I bought mine with a Michael's 50% coupon, so you might want to see if you can find a sale/coupon like that too.
Good luck!
