Art Philosophy & Fondant Flowers

Remember this photo from the last post?

This is what it made when I rolled it up and TRIED to create a flower:

It's SOOOOO small that it barely photographs well.

I rolled the petals down so it opened up.

Here's a few other views.

Next time I'll do a bigger flower -

also, it was crazy trying to roll it up like you would do with paper.

I started to melt into itself making it mush.

Thanks for looking!

Jeanie's Birthday Prep - Cupcakes!

I took Strawberry cake mix and put it in a double pan so that it's half the normal height.
About a one inch in height.

After it cooled I took the middle mini cutter to the cake

I stood them up inside the chocolate batter - filling the cups 2/3.

Because I put the hearts all the same way, when I frosted them I put a little line in the frosting so I could know which way to cut them to show the heart!

I cut fondant tiaras with my Cricut Cake machine!

The big one is for Jeanie's cupcake - what's that in the bottom corner?!?!

It's a 3D flower! I'll show you that soon!

Here is all the cupcakes with the tops on! I put the tiaras on the line I drew in the frosting so I still know which way to cut the cupcake!

Here is Jeanie's! Thanks for looking!

Cricut Cake, Gum Paste & Sugar Sheets

So with the help of my faithful assistant Jeanie,

we attempted to figure out how to cut a few different things with my

NEW Cricut Cake Machine!

Jeanie is using a pizza cutter to trim the excess off the edges so that the rollers

don't run over it and move the Gum Paste.

I had to get creative because the Gum Paste gets sticky when rolling it out.

I never took enough out to cover the whole sheet, but I was only testing it out.

first cut, I had to stop it - missed the fact that the Gum Paste wasn't covering to the corner.

But after moving it up, the butterfly was perfect and flawless!!!!

Instead of picking up the Gum Paste, I decided to keep going and use

up what I rolled out, a crown, star, and a few flowers.

Jeanie is showing off the butterflies' details

Look at how thin I cut the edges of this star! That's 2 inches big.

Here is all of them on a plate.

I then decided to add a few drops of food coloring and do some colors.

Several flowers. The picture below shows white tape like strip above the pink Gum Paste.

That is from the roller. The white got run over and then dried on the roller and then rolled off

while I was cutting the pink. Note to self: make sure rollers are clean before slipping in another color.

The brown swirl is from a Sugar Sheet - that is a thin sheet of frosting pre-made for you.

You WOULD have thought that it would have been easier to cut - since it's thin, rolled out for you - but NO, it was worse. I blew a whole 1/3 of the sheet and it tastes yucky. It's from Cricut and it could be

dried out. I will try putting a damp paper towel in the bag to bring it back and try this again another day.
