Gumpaste Hibiscus

This is how I made the hibiscus flowers for my Hawaiian cake.

The orchid petal mold was purchased from Pfeil & Holing. http://www.cakedeco.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=8847&p_cat...

why couldnt you take the flower that you are using to lay your petals out on, cut the petals from that as well for a pattern or template??

love the idea of using a plastic flower as the "drying rack/guide" for your flower...I am sooo doing that...running to the Dollarstore for some flowers this morning! Thanks for showing your tutorial. XO

Finally, thank you! How would you suggest doing them in smaller sizes?

This is a great tutorial....may I suggest you use tinted gumpaste next time.. the white just washed out under the lighting...
