Cake flowers!

Here are our fondant flowers so far. I shaped the fondant and poked it onto large toothpicks (easier; we can always cut them down, but it makes them easy to handle).

Here you can see half still white. The other half have been painted with food coloring. These are not all the flowers, but you get a good idea.
Closer up shot; the larger flowers have fake little stamen in them.

Here's the herd untouched and drying.



Here's another close-up. The stems are going to be painted green, that way only color is showing (and no toothpicks). We only did one test-run so far; B's doing the rest this week. It's easier to paint red first and then go back after they've dried and do the green (less running together of the colors).
