This week's class was part two of our flower-making extravaganza. Thing is, I don't have too much to say about the class besides two things:
- Siobhan and I are both getting pretty damn good at petal-making, I do believe
- Don't try moving your royal icing flowers 'til after they're well-set, otherwise they'll squish if you don't watch it.
Anyhoo, let's just move right on to the photo, shall we?
Here's my flowers for the week. Actually, some of the daisies are probably Siobhan's and one might be Sue's--they got mixed up pretty good during class. Anyway, the daisy's are supposed to be slightly curled, to make the petals seem more daisy-like, but not that curved. That's the result of being jostled around the box on the way home. Ah, well. I don't really like making daisies anyway.
The Victorian roses, on the other hand, are just fun. I don't know if it was the bag, the tip, or the frosting, but something makes them a lot easier and nicer than the roses we did a couple weeks ago. They're a little squished, but not too bad.
The daffodils, pansies, and primroses, on the other hand, got smooshed something fierce. The daffodils came through the best, only getting their little center cups bent, but the other two are supposed to have these nice, upward-curving, overlapping petals, and at one point they did, trust me. But a little too long piled in a box & shifted around and boom, flat flowers. I know they look fine & all, but they looked even cooler before. Ah, well, guess I've just got to make some more...
