Big mistake making this after days & days of rain. The humidity really gave me trouble. Was thinking of using this on a cake for later this month but may be redoing it. Loosely based on Jo’s 24 hr flower. Some of the petals were so brittle that they broke so I tried replacing them but hard to get the right position. The second picture shows the very special equipment (lol) that I used. The veiner was a shell and the cutter was actual a heart cutter.

oh Goreti, it is so beautifull!! How clever of you to use a shell for a veiner ! :) I have to try that – We have had sooo many days of rain too!!

Jan, I have very few cutters and only 1 veiner which is the inexpensive Wilton one. Don’t want to spend a lot of money since I only do this for fun. Therefore, I looked for things that I have around the house that I can use instead. The center is actually a large glass bead that was on a shirt. If you look at it closely, there is a tiny hole on the sides since it was sewn on the shirt.

hi Goreti! This is beautiful!…
I hear your humidity/moisture problem. I have been drying my gumpaste flowers on the shelf on top of my husband’s television armoire.. silly way to do it, and my husband hates me on this. but i have been doing that for years now, it is a dry place and the constant temperature keeps the pieces to place. Just last night, I needed to dry a gumpaste chair which needed to dry overnight, it has been raining here in nj and the humidity is playing tricks on me. I just shoved the piece in the armoire shelf and was ready to go this morning…

I only do this for my family and friends, so I know where you’re coming from. I don’t buy a lot of cutters anymore, did that enough when I first started cake decoating. I definitely am going to use a shell for veining when I get time to work on a specialty flower!!
