Gumpaste Blackberries and blossoms
Made for an upcoming special event. I seldom do any cakes now but this is for a special friend. The blackberries are molded cones of gumpaste covered in sugar pearls that are colored with edible color. Attaching the pearls is a tedious and sometimes frustrating time, I chased pearls around the table for hours. I tried attaching with gum glue, fabrique glue, clear piping gel and none worked very well. I finally melted some plain gelatin and allowed to cool till it thickened just a bit, I painted the cones with the gel and then rolled them in a bowl of sugar pearls. Still had to fill in some gaps by hand but it worked pretty well.

Thank you friends. I am well, stayed in lockdown for over a year but have now had both vaccinations and still wear a mask if I go out in public. I hope each of you have stayed safe as well. We will come through this pandemic and eventually life will get back to normal, just a different kind of normal.
