Flower Shaper - Application

Cut out a flower shape from fondant, flower paste or other modeling clay. You can also cut out several individual petals. Use a modeling tool or embosser to give the flower or petal a beautiful pattern as well as filigree edges. Especially beautiful are, for example, some leaf veins or a very thin edge, this may also be slightly torn in one place or another.

Once the flower has been formed, carefully place it in the flower former and, if necessary, briefly sort the leaves again. If you have several individual petals, they are arranged and glued together with some edible glue. If desired, you can paint the flower a little more. To do this, put some powder paint on a piece of household paper. With a fine brush, the color is then applied, for example, inside the flower or on the outer edge of the petals. With some egg white icing and beads you can additionally decorate the center of the flower.
