This is my first time doing a tutorial, I hope you guys like and it find it helpful! Please let me know if you have any questions.
First, you will need some materials- fondant- a ball tool- foam pad- rose petal cutter (or any oval/round petal cutter would work)- veining mat
Roll out your fondant until very thin, about the same as you would do if making a flower
This is how thin I rolled mine out. If its too think it will be hard to frill the edges
Use the cutter to c...

The making of the Moth Orchid Part 1
It is hard to explain every detail in a mini turorial, but I believe this can get you started…
Surprise… I decided to post a basic mini tutorial on the Moth Orchid instead of only the finished flower. Being a very popular orchid request and very beautiful I think it is a good choice.
This is a basic mini tutorial since not all steps are shown or explained in detail.
Hope you enjoy it…

Lovely Purple Dahlia – Made in gumpaste
How I made the purple Dahlia from this photo…
What I do when I find a flower I want to make
Don’t have the real flower then print the best photo or photos you can find.
Look through your cutters to find one which would work best. You don’t always need to buy a cutter since many cutter sets have several components and with a little manipulation you can create the perfect petals shapes.

This is a record-short tutorial, but I thought I’d share it with you. Drying out gumpaste tiaras can be tricky since you want a concave shape. So, I found a very easy way. Here’s how:
Materials: drying rack; styrofoam glass
Cut two slits on the styrofoam glass and insert it onto the drying rack – it fits nice and snuggly. Then place your gumpaste tiara on top of the glass and let it dry. It will hold a beautiful shape and the glass won’t move at all. This c...

This a tutorial on using a pasta maker to create perfect horizontal stripes on fondant or modeling chocolate.
1. Take your chosen base colour of fondant or modelling chocolate and pass it several times through the pasta maker set to its widest setting, until you have a nicely formed, regular shape band of fondant.
2. Take pieces of fondant in your chosen colours for the strips and press each of them into thin bands. It does not matter if they are not quite as long as the base band.

Thanks to a few people who have urged me to share the process of making a fondant fairy plaque, I’ve created a photo tutorial. Enjoy..and let me know if you have any questions :)
I found a fairy image I liked by Googling “fairy coloring pages.”. I’ve also done several ‘Rainbow magic fairy’ cakes in the past. Print at least two copies to scale for your cake.
In this photo, you see the bottom of an 8 inch cake pan. I made a seven inch round ...
