Royal Icing Flowers


We learned a new batch of royal icing flowers on Monday night in course 3. These turned out pretty good, although not nearly as lively and dainty as the fondant and gum paste flowers that I learned to make this week in course 4. Royal icing does have its advantages though - it's definitely easier and less time-consuming than fondant/gum paste, which is a huge concern when you're covering a cake in flowers. I think the morning glory (far right) is my favorite.

Flowers from left to right: white - easter lilies, red - poinsettias, yellow - petunias, blue - morning glories
