Making Yellow/White Flowers

I was asked by a couple of people to provide a step-by-step on how I made the decorations for my lemon cuppies. So, though it's not as spectacular as it seems...here it is. :)

This is for a dozen finished flowers.


Materials Used:

About 2 Cups Rolled Fondant (I just used Wilton pre-made fondant from Michael's)
Yellow Food Coloring
Rolling Pin
Two Sizes of Fondant Flower Cutters
Round Tipped Sugar Crafting Tool
Foam Pad
12 Dragees (#1 Size)


Separate fondant into two pieces. Tint one piece with food coloring until you get the desired color. Mix well by kneading.

Roll each piece of fondant to about 1/8" thickness.


Cut 6 small and 6 large flowers out of each rolled piece. You will end up with 24 flowers altogether.




Place each flower on the foam pad and press in the middle with the round-tipped sugar crafting tool. This gives the flowers a slight curve.


Assemble the flowers as shown below. Large white + small yellow + 1 dragee. Or Large yellow + small white + dragee.

Attach each with a small drop of water.

Ta-da! Flower!


Then, just stick the flower(s) on the cupcakes how you want to decorate them. I just used one on these, but you can get all kinds of creative with 'em with different sizes, etc.
