Decorating time: 5-10 minutes per flower

Decorating skill: Beginner

This cake project was created with Pettinice.

Priya has put together this exclusive tutorial showing how to make quick cupcake toppers using Pettinice, her favourite brand of fondant.

I made these little hampers for my children's school as thank you gifts, but they can be easily adapted as Easter baskets of yumminess too!

This tutorial is for a free form, cutter free two-tone marble fantasy flower with leaves which decorate cupcake toppers.

For this free form fantasy flower tutorial, you will need:

Step 2: Colour mix and group together as shown.

Step 3: Press the sets together to combine as shown.

The best part is how Pettinice retains colours and does not fade with time. For one of my showpieces, Pettinice held the colours so strong that even to this day, three years from the time it was created, the fondant is still vibrant and deep. -Priya Maclure, Sugarpot (Sydney, Australia)

Step 4: Slightly flatten pink shape and use your cone tool to press into the centre. Then make 5 snips for petals shown. Roll the leaf set into semi teardrop shape as shown.

Step 5: Use your shell veining tool and pull away from the centre of the flower, and away from the leaf to emboss texture and create shape.

Finally, roll the leaf slightly, place and your cupcake with the flower. Place your sugar pearl in the centre of the flower . Use a light touch of sugar glue or water to stick things together.

Inspiration

Priya created this bottom tier cake by piping.  However, you could use her tutorial with lots of leaf shapes and stick to the cake in a similar fashion.  Have fun!  xoxo

A big thank you to Priya for creating this Pettinice tutorial.
