So today I almost finished my flowers! I just need to buy white stamens to finish the white flowers. I remembered black but there's always at least one thing that I forget somehow haha!
I've used the trick of shot glasses before since I only have 3 small and 3 large flower formers and the wavy flower former does not shape flowers correctly. Leaves, yes but flowers, no.
Anyways, flip the shot glass upside down and put the flower upside down on it as well like in the second picture. This will help the flower dry rounded and open. Once they're dried slightly, you can flip the shot glass and flower right side up and nestle the flower in the opening. If you put the flower in the shot glass before it has started drying, it will sink right into the shot glass and close up.
I made the marshmallow fondant as well! It worked great and tastes quite good although incredibly sweet. (Makes sense as it's marshmallows and sugar). I think I'm going to add a bit of lemon juice though since I'm a little afraid of it being too different a flavour compared to the lemon raspberry cake underneath. I'll use fresh squeezed lemon juice and strain the heck out of it!!! I don't think it would affect the white colour of the fondant at all... I just need enough lemon juice to tie the flavours together. Fingers crossed!
