Ingredients

Instructions

  • Roll out pink fondant.
  • Roll out white fondant.
  • Use a round tip to make small circle pieces and place them on top of the pink fondant.
  • Once you have enough, flatten these circles with a rolling pin.
  • Use a flower cutter to cut out a piece and place it on a flower-forming cup.
  • For the center, make a small ball of white fondant and flatten it slightly.
  • Brush some water or corn syrup on this white ball and roll it in blue sugar crystals until the ball is fully coated.
  • Use scissors to cut the stamens into half inch pieces. Push these pieces individually along the sides of this sparkly blue ball.
  • Brush some water or corn syrup in the center of your flower and stick your sparkly blue ball here.
  • Let this flower dry overnight or 24 hours until they harden.
  • Make smaller flowers for cupcakes, if you like, following the same steps.
  • While the flowers are drying, bake orange cakes and allow them to cool completely.
  • Also, prepare the cream cheese frosting and color it blue.
  • Place one cake on a cake stand and spread icing on top.
  • Place the other cake on top and press gently to secure it into place.
  • Then, ice the entire cake until smooth.
  • Use a spatula to create a vertical design all along the sides of the cake.
  • Fill a piping bag with icing and attach a large star tip and ice a swirl on top of the cake.
  • Place the fondant flower gently on top. Enjoy!
