[@michellemartins8524]

Beautiful flower. What is the diameter of the daisy cutter you used? I made a one inch fondant ball but my daisy cutter wasn’t big enough to cover the ball.

[@CakeNation]

It was the middle one from the set of 3. If yours isn't big enough to cover, dont worry, you can simply stretch the petals or cut the centre out and just use the petals for the same effect x

[@cbrm3067]

Beautiful, looks so real and as you say it looks more natural because of the way the petals have been attached. You said it doesn't take too long, obviously you're skilled at this, but roughly how long would you say it takes you?

[@CakeNation]

once you get into the swing of it I would say its around 30 minutes to do one from start to finish. You could probably do a few at a time which would allow for drying time...x

Bello bello trabajo. Felicidades me encantó! Cuanto cuesta esta flor????

to make or if I was to sell it on a cake? I guess you could make around 3/4 flowers from one pack of modelling paste and I would charge around £40 per flower x

Hello, what is the name of this blue square that you use in the beginning under the petals? What kind of material is it? Thanksss

[@CakeNation]

It’s a foam pad. Most cake shops if you ask or search for a petal pad it will come up xx

[@shal468]

So pretty!💗 How many layers of petals did you use here? Small how many? Medium and large how many?

[@CakeNation]

I would say around 2-3 of each one. You have to eyeball it when you think it needs an extra layer...x

[@emmapin1369]

How many different sized cutters did you use please?

[@teresafalo8574]

Is a beautiful flower, a great tutorial but after all that work and time consuming how much would I charge for each flower on a cake? no less than 15. 00 or 20.00 dollars

[@CakeNation]

It would depend on how much time it would take for you to do each flower. I usually charge £35+ for statement flowers x

thank you so much x

[@louisefoster5860]

what size poly ball did you use. Also I've tried using Renshaws modelling paste and the bigger petals fall back and fall off.

[@CakeNation]

2cm poly ball...you could add a bit of normal fondant into the modelling paste to make it a bit more flexible...once the petals are stuck on the back you can hang upside down for about 5 minutes which allows the paste to set a little, then always place with something supporting the underneath, either foil or a flower former until dry x

[@christiedecker2724]

@@CakeNation Hello, could you share which former you used? They looked different than the Wilton ones I am familiar with. Thank you!

Beautiful, do you teach classes?

Yes I do. I am just about to start with some online classes x

[@ArielleMichaela970]

How long does it take you to make one flower?

[@CakeNation]

about 45 mins x

[@karendooks6244]

Remember that when you finish dusting, you then need to boil an old fashioned whistling kettle til steam is coming out of the spout. Twirl the freshly dusted flower for a few seconds in the steam. This will set the colour and take away the dusty look, the flower then looks even more realistic

[@CakeNation]

Thank you, great tip! X

Sorry if my question sounds stupid... Why don't you use the cutter for each layer and simply add additional petals as needed? I find individual petals for every layer is such a time-consuming and tedious process. Dahlias are o gorgeous!!!!
