re: Making hops with sugarpaste

Thanks, Shirley, I’d seen that picture on a few Pinterest posts, but couldn’t make out if they were real or sugarpaste. It would be great to find either a petal or maybe a leaf cutter of something like the right shape and size. Then, as you suggest, I could build them over a central wired cone. The more I think about it, it might turn out to be fairly easy to do, if I get the right tools
