On
Saturday we made calla lilies and roses out of fondant! That was really fun and
so easy! That’s what I’m learning with this class, things are really easy to
make but they take a lot of time to actually make and then they have to dry
which takes days. It’s surprising how long it actually takes for the flowers to
completely dry.
Here
is a picture of the lilies and roses:
On
Tuesday we made carnations, mums and daisies. These were really fun as well.
The carnation is the most time consuming out of the 3 and I would say it is not
my favorite, but they still look good. The mums and daisies are pretty simple.
The mums are definitely not the prettiest flower but they are different so they
work. They are a flower that you would want to have a specific use for them.
Here
is a picture of my mum:
I
didn’t get a chance to take a picture of the other flowers yet. I’ll try to
remember to post them next week when we decorate a cake. We are covering the
cake with fondant and then decorating, this could be really interesting.
After this class we will take the final course
Advanced Gum Paste Flowers. I’m actually really excited for the next class. We
make some really cool flowers, but it takes a lot of supplies to make as well.
So that could be interesting. We shall see how it all goes.
How
is the weather where you are? We have gotten a TON of snow since Sunday and it
just keeps coming. I probably brushed a good 3-4 inches off my car this
morning. I’m grateful for buying a new car now, there is no way I would’ve been
able to get around in my Mustang in this weather with this amount of snow. The
unfortunate thing is the main roads get plowed, but the residential areas
rarely get plowed. So trying to get out of the neighborhood was interesting,
but my car did great! So that was quite the relief. We are supposed to get
another 1-3 inches today, 3-5 inches tonight and then another inch tomorrow. We’re
looking a lot like winter in Montana now and that is awesome!
