We Made Flowers for Cakes at the Decorette Shop
July 24, 2008
Both of our girl’s took a flower making class at The Decorette Shop in Tigard, Oregon. They made wild roses, regular roses, sunflowers, and drop flowers with buttercream icing. I went to class with them and watched, but I didn’t really participate much. I did try some fondant when they made fondant roses.
A’s Flowers
The first flower they made was a wild rose on wax paper attached with frosting to the flower nail. They used the #104 tip to make the petals. The second was a regular rose using the same tip. They made the rose on the rose stick.
J’s Flowers
They changed to the #352 tip and made sunflowers. They held the tip so you couldn’t see the V and made several petals. This same tip was used to make leaves. They used tip #129 to make the drop flowers. I think they are pansies.
The buttercream frosting takes a couple days to dry. We took all the flowers home to let them dry.
We had a lot of frosting left over, so J and I decided to make some flowers at home. I tried my hand at the wild roses and regular roses. I think J is much better at making them. I redid my fondant rose and made a rose bud with the leftovers. I did a lot of experimenting.
It was a great class. The time went by fast. A great time was had by all.
HUGS!
When I was uploading the flower photos, I found this photo my husband had taken of the kittens, Oscar and Luna. It’s so nice to have two kitties that get along so well.
