Hi Alexandria, This is so beautiful. You are a true artist. How would you scale this down to a smaller size? Would you just use gumpaste for the centre then as opposed to a styrofoam ball?

[@FinespunCakes]

I’m actually recording that next week! You can use gumpaste or a smaller styrofoam ball if you can find it :) and of course, smaller cutters

[@lanamanuel3407]

You are the best ❣❣❣

[@FinespunCakes]

Thanks so much :)

[@D.A.A.321]

That’s an amazing art form! Settle something for me though: they’re made of edible material but are not to be eaten anyway, right?

[@FinespunCakes]

Thank you! You're correct, they're meant to be food-safe for cakes. You can eat the petals but they don't taste great.

[@D.A.A.321]

Amazing 👏🏼

[@farhana6016]

How long does it take to dry out the flowers completely?

[@erinstefonek9020]

I can't imagine the actual time involved in all of those layers! How much would you typically charge for these flowers?

[@FinespunCakes]

Around $80-100 depending on the size :)

[@terezacz87]

@@FinespunCakes I’ve never made flowers before and got a cake order with these. I wanted to charge 150 for the whole cake, but I see how much of a work this is and I really think that would be underpriced, right? 😄

[@FinespunCakes]

@@terezacz87 In my opinion, yes, but you should price out your time and overhead accordingly :) it's different for everyone!

[@ntombenhlebiyela7734]

Hi 👌👌work Plze can you tell me the size of this teardrop cutters( the silver ones) , thanks a lot

[@FinespunCakes]

I actually don’t know, sorry!! I always just measure against the plastic cutters to see one size up

Does anyone know where to buy Gum Tragacanth in the US?

Wer you keep your finished flowers, is it room temp / ac room / fridge

Yes always a/c and dehumidifier :)

[@monikafernandes3396]

Mam which brand petal dust colour u r using pls let me know?

Hi I like your ranunculus flower, plze can you tel mel the measurerment of the size of a teadrop cutters the one you used here( silver ones) bcse the smallest size of mine is too small,, thank you

[@FinespunCakes]

I don’t have the exact measurement but just use your best judgement for what fits on the flower after the 5 petal cutter petals 👍🏼 they should be slightly bigger than that

Thanks for this excellent tutorial! May I ask, what sizes are the teardrop cutters? Again, thanks for this well-organized and clearly explained video!

[@FinespunCakes]

Not sure of the exact dimensions but just use one size up from your largest 5 petal cutter (which is 80mm) and that will be perfect 👌See description box below for the tools & equipment

[@pietryoung1470]

@@FinespunCakes Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply!

[@phyllisharrington1771]

What can you use if you don’t have the egg molds

[@FinespunCakes]

You can use half-sphere silicone molds (like what people use for hot chocolate bombs) or styrofoam balls (just dry the petals upside down)

[@sandramartinkova9644]

What a beautiful work!! Can I ask what is that stick/veiner and where can I get it? :)
