They are made of gum paste (Nicholas lodge receipe) I had to add more sugar after I added so much red paste color to the batch but they still looked a little orange to me till I dusted them with red petal dust and then highlighted the edges with purple

Ahhh, thank you Kittens!! I didn't know you could color Nicholas Lodge recipe. Thanks for the tip, I'll try again! :)
