Topic tags/keywords: question

Hi everyone:) Please I have a question, I’ve been doing 3 big Gerberas which I’d like to put as a decoration in the middle of a cake, but once i put them together, they look so flat, how can i make them seen like centerpieces, i don’t know if you understand, shall i lie them on something like a round fondant piece and then glue them to it? Hope you know what i mean, thanks for your help!

How about putting them at an angle on top of the cake. Like this cake I saw on another site http://cdn.cakecentral.com/e/e9/900x900px-LL-e96fc48f_modulescopperminealbumsuserpics692259Gerber_Daisy_Cake1.jpeg

You could just use some melted chocolate to attach them to the fondant ball. I’ve never tried to add wires or a toothpick after my flowers are dry; can’t think how to do that.
You could also use three different fondant balls to control the angle they sit at a little better. Good luck!

Sorry I didn’t answer you but I just checked my email. I agree with 3DSweets. That would be what I would do.
