Is there any way that I can make a peony without the use of cutters? I am making a cake for my aunty's engagement and she only gave me a week's notice. So if I bought the cutters, they wouldn't arrive in time..

TIA for all your help!

You could try using the template from Martha Stewart for the Paper Peony. I tried it this past Mother's Day. I made my peony from 50/50 mix of Wilton Fondant and my gumpaste I make. I should have let the petals fall open more. You could use white card stock for your template to cut out the petals with a exacto-knife. I hope this help!

There are some tutorials with peony cutters and without:

Those peonies are made with a heart cutter:

Do you have the 5 petal rose cutter? I used that for a faux peony.

You can see it here

There is a close up of the flower towards the bottom. Definately not a true peony but worked for what I needed. If you have the cutter let me know and I'll send you more details.
