Does anyone know how to make fondant/gumpaste azalea's? I've seen the cutters online, but can't find how to put it all together. I'm doing these for a cupcake challenge. Thanks!
you have to make them like little hats. Make a cone and flatten the wider end so it looks like a witch's hat. Then cut the flattened cone with the cutter making sure the cutter is centered. Use a ball tool to go around the outside edges to flute. Take a pointed tool and make a well in the inside center. Take 3 stamens and loop a wire in the middle then fold the stamens in half. Thread the wire through the hole in the center of the flower so the stamens come out the end of the flower.....if you look at pictures of azalea flowers you will kmow what I mean. Hang the flowers on a rack to dry upside down. Here is a page of azalea flowers click on the photos to enlarge http://www.flowerpictures.net/Flowerpictures/flowerpictures_2007/az...
