Gumpaste flowers are an excellent way to add a touch of elegance to your cake or cupcake. They come in many different shapes and sizes, so you can create some truly beautiful designs with them. You can even use gumpaste flowers on their own for a pretty decoration on your cake.

Gather your tools

Gumpaste flowers need simple tools to make them. You'll need a pastry bag fitted with a medium-size plain tip (if you don't have one, use an empty toothpaste tube). You'll also need a medium-size round tip (if you don't have one, use an empty toothpaste tube).

Roll out the paste fairly thin

The best way to roll out gumpaste is with two different sized rolling pins. Start with the larger one, then finish rolling it out on the smaller one as you go along. This will help get rid of any bumps or waves in your paste so that everything comes out smooth and even when you attach it to your cake.

To make gumpaste flowers for cakes:

1. Choose the design you want to use for your cake. If you're making a wedding cake, choose something appropriate for the occasion — perhaps a single rose or daisy flower would be perfect!
2. Prepare your molds by lining them with wax paper or plastic wrap and using a recipe that has enough water to fill each mold about halfway up. Make sure the molds are completely clean and dry before filling them with gumpaste.
3. Add food coloring to the liquid ingredients in the recipe until desired color is reached. Stir until well blended then pour into your molds until they're full, being careful not to overflow them (you may need more than one batch). Let set at least one hour before unmolding onto your cake or cupcake.

Gumpaste flowers are the perfect way to add a little extra color and glitter to your cake. They're also a great choice if you have allergies to certain colors of food coloring, such as red or yellow.

Bake your cake

Gumpaste flowers are an easy way to add a little extra elegance to your cakes. Gumpaste flowers can be made by hand or with the help of a pastry bag and pastry tip. You can find all kinds of gumpaste flowers for cakes recipes online, but I have found that the easiest way to make them is to first buy some gumpaste flowers (I like Wilton brand) and then follow the instructions on the package.

Gumpaste flower shapes come in many different sizes and colors. I used white roses for this cake, but you could use any color you want! Once you have chosen your flower shape, simply pipe it onto your cake in sections until it looks like a bouquet. Then place your finished flowers on top of your cake!

With the right equipment, you can create gorgeous flowers that look like they were airbrushed on to your cake!

If you want to make these flowers into something other than just a decoration on top of your cake, try piping them onto fondant instead! Add some edible glitter for extra sparkle!  The more colors you use, the more defined the petals will be.
