The Botanical Gardens of Gum Paste 8.4.11

We made flowers out of gum paste for my class at Le Cordon Bleu.  I made a calla lily, star gazer lily, sunflower, rose, and a small purple flower which I don't know if it looks like any real flower since I just made it up.  All the stems on these flowers are made of wire to make it easier to stick into the cake.  The wires are the only inedible part.


Red Roses



Purple accent flower



Calla Lily



Star Gazer Lily
Pollen on the stamen is cornmeal.



Sunflower and Sunflower leaf
The center is covered with cornmeal. There is an inedible disk within the flower to support the center.
