Tips on Your Sugar Flower Sprays

This lovely cake was created by member Natalie, owner A World of Cakes.

There are many different ways to arrange your gumpaste flowers: teardrop shape, hogarth curve, and crescent shape are three kinds of arrangements.

When placing gumpaste flower sprays or sugar ornaments on cakes, never insert wires into the cake. Insert a posy holder into the top, side or corner of the cake for the spray to sit in. The holder should protrude slightly above the level of the icing, so that it can be removed easily before cutting. As an alternative, you can attach a long toothpick to the shortened wired spray with floral tape and insert the toothpick into the cake.
