Tutorial – camellia flower

IMG_9539-001

It’s been quite some time since I posted a flower tutorial so it really is about time! 😉 I posted some pictures of this camellia flower yesterday and now I’ve put together a tutorial for it!

This flower was actually quite tricky since you want the petals to only touch each other at the base to give it a realistic look. So you probably need some gumpaste flower making experience or it will be quite hard.. But here’s the tutorial! Continue reading

Camellia flower

IMG_9528-001

Have you seen Camellia flowers before? I hadn’t until earlier today when I was googling David Austin roses and found this beautiful image. They are absolutely beautiful flowers, almost like ranunculus but with a lot fewer petals.. So of course I had to make one out of sugar 😉

Check back tomorrow for the tutorial! Continue reading

Tutorial – lace trees

I thought I’d stop by quickly to share this lace tree tutorial. I was inspired by the lace doilies I made earlier this year and wanted to make something similar with a winter-y twist. They are quite easy and quick to make and would be pretty as cupcake toppers or on top of a cake! For this tree I used a small, round piping tip but you can use any tips you like!

The camera and I are good friends when it comes to photography, and I love photographing animals and nature! But when it came to filming it was determined to give me a hard time..

Tutorial – soft pink ranunculus

Ranunculus… I won’t say they are my favorite flowers, because even though I always feel like it as I’m looking at one, I love all other flowers as well. So to avoid saying in each post that I’ve made my favorite flower, let’s just settle for that I love flowers. Looking at them, photographing them, and making them.

Tutorial – chrysanthemum

IMG_5369

This flower was so much fun to make! And compared to other flowers like peonies and gerbera daisies, it didn’t take much time either! I was inspired by the chrysanthemums in the kitchen window at home and tried to make as close a copy as I could, but unfortunately those flowers are now in the trash bin so I couldn’t take a photo of them together.. well, well.. 😉 Continue reading
