Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hey, I have two questions which hopefully someone will be able to help me with 🙂

1. Looking to make a set of rosary beads which fall down between two tiers. Customer showed me a pic so I know it could be done, but not sure how I would make them down the tiers? anyone any ideas?

2. When drying little flowers on the flower cups/cone things (can you tell I’ve never done flowers before lol) what else could I use? I only have a few cups and I know I need to dry the flowers for a while before I decorate the cake with them. How long do you think I would need to dry them for?

thanks

Hi favoursandfrills

Here http://cakecentral.com/b/tutorial/bob-johnsons-gumpaste-couture-pearl-necklace-tutorial, is a complete tutorial on how to make strung beads/pearls. For your flowers you can either make little scrunched up cups from foil or google drying foam flower formers, if you’re in the UK they cost £3.95 in ebay. x

I use Cardboard egg cartons they work well with small to medium flowers

To be safe I would dry over night
