1Colour the sugarpaste with olive oil pro gel to achieve a soft green. Roll out to around 3mm thick, cut 7.6 cm (3in) circles and transfer each one to a square of baking paper. |
|
2Place a drop of magic white and a drop of bazooka pink onto a plate. Dip one corner of the flat brush into the pink and the other corner into the white and blend the colours by gently brushing up and down. |
|
3Keeping the light side of the brush at the base, mark the edges of the petal then glide from point 1 over and up to the tip at point 2, then over and down to point 3 stroking gently towards the centre to finish. |
|
4Turn the topper ninety degrees and repeat until the flower has four petals. With the pink side of the brush add a dot of pink to the centre. |
|
5Continue until the topper is full of flowers, then leave to dry on a sponge dome or flat if you prefer. |
