How to make gum paste daffodils:
Use food coloring to make the gum paste the desired color ( I used yellow and orange for daffodils). Roll the gum paste into a thin layer, about 1/8" thick. |
Remember- gum paste is VERY sticky! Make sure to put cornstarch or powdered sugar down before you try to roll it. Oops! |
Once your gum paste is rolled, use the flower cutter. For layered flower, cut multiple sizes for the different layers. |
Use your fondant tool with the tapered edge (or a toothpick works as a substitution) and roll the edges of the flower petals to make them thin and it also gives the ruffly effect. |
Place in a flower shaping cup to dry! |
To put the layers together, use a dot of meringue paste as adhesive. |
