I used tip 225 which is for a drop flower .. I just squeeze and pull up and do it randomly all over the cake .. really easy to do and has a nice effect :)
Thanks! They're made with gumpaste. We only learned fondant in the course 3 class. I decided to try my hand at gumpaste... this was my first try at it. I decided to use the flowers I made for the Wilton class since she said we could do whatever decorations we wanted to do on our cakes.
This is beautiful! Okay, here's my questions. LOL How do you stick the pieces of the flower together? Also, I'd love to know what you uused to cover your cakes with that flowery look. I love it! This is great! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks CarolAnn! I used the largest rose cutter in the Wilton gumpaste set to cut the flowers out. I used about one teaspoon meringue powder to 5 teaspoons of water. I used a artist paintbrush (cheap one) and I brushed the meringue powder/water solution onto each petal and formed the flowers. After they dried, I used royal icing for the center and 3 stamen in each one. I used tip 225 which is a drop flower tip and I'd just squeezed it gently and lift up until I covered the entire tops of the cakes.
To glue the gumpaste together on the tulips. I took the artist brush w/a little water/meringue powder and brushed between each petal to kind of glue it together. It was kinda ironic, my teacher told me she had been thinking of making that same cake that week .. LOL .. the difference with mine is that she wanted our cakes to be tiered and Wilton's version is stacked, not tiered. I think it would have been prettier if stacked.

I want to know what tip you used to create that texture. It's really different and nice.
