I am making Fondant hydrangea flowers for a wedding cake in a few weeks.I bought the cutter and press mold.Are Hydrangeas supposed to be flat or can they be slightly pinched upright together..Laying flat they look ugly..


Any Thoughts!!

Thanks

A slight pinch, or curve from drying upside down makes them look more natural when put in a bunch.

I fold each petal in half lengthwise to give them more shape and pinch them so they are slightly cupped around the center.

I mix them- some I hang upside down so they look like they're in early stages of bloom. For the open look- I thin the petal edges and slightly cup them with a ball tool.

You won't get a better tutorial for hydrangea's than Jacqueline Butlers!
