Apple Blossoms - I also made some Violets (not pictures) that look just like this but in purple (obviously).
Rosebuds - These were my favorite to make
So I haven't quite figured out how to do the whole typing and posting of pictures on the blog. This is my 4th attempt to do so. I'm sorry to say that if this doesn't work there will be no words only pictures from now on.
For classes 2 and 3 we used royal icing to make flowers. You use royal icing instead of buttercream because the royal icing hardens quicker and better. You make royal icing by combining powder sugar, meringue powder, and water. I also added vanilla the first time. The taste is quiet different. I think it has a slight lemony taste. The second time I made it I added some almond extract and it taste way better but still not great.
Next week we are decorating the whole cake. Stay toned....
