Wonderful tutorial! I have also used corn meal for “pollen” rather than cutting tiny tiny pieces for use on stamens. Attached by same method shown.
Awesome tutorial! Thank you! 🙂
Hello Chef, I am amazed at the level of details and techniques, definitely you are a Master. I am so glad I subscribed to your tutorials. Thank you so much.
Love to learn new techniques from you. Great to know we can prepare our own cutters so easily…. as often we want to make a one off flower and it is not worthwhile to purchase cutters. This would also give us the opportunity to make any size of flower we want, and not just be limited by bought cutters. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Kind regards.
Thank you chef, I really like the idea of using melted pastillage as glue and the chopped pastillage as pollen on the Hibiscus is so life like….genius!
Thanks Denise I am glad to hear that.
thank you for a very interesting tutorial. i have learnt some very cleaver ideas
Hello chef, thank you for sharing your techniques with us. Flowers are the most difficult part for me and you’ve made it so elegantly simple though making 100s for wedding looking at every detail would be tiresome but at the end fruitful. Chef if we do not have a pasta machine can we just roll into thin sheets? Secondly maybe I didn’t hear you well, do we have to insert these wired stem into a straw for hygiene purpose or can we just insert it directly into a cake? We don’t get flower tapes in our country , what else can we use? You’re my inspiration chef and I’m learning a lot from you in every tutorial and through that I’ve brought my business upto the next level and have signed up again with you. God bless!!
Yes, you can use the roller. Don’t forget thinner is the better. Straw is for hygiene and safety so unknown wires do not touch the cake. For flower tapes, look at ebay. Thanks
Thank you chef serdar
