(don't) forget your lunch
If you like me, check out my other blog forgot my head for my other creative, non-food things. Like fashion, because that's kind of what I'm studying at university.
Well, I talked about these in my last post…but I never got around to posting. And now I’m looking at them like “well, these are kind of stupid looking” but maybe you’ll like them.
When I was cutting out those bat and cat cookies I cut out a few small flowers, so the dough is the same. And so is the whole process of squishing the candies, but you can roll it out or just pinch off bits to make into petals.
I just roll bits into little balls, squish them flat and then fold and pinch one end a bit…if that makes sense. Just play, you’ll get it. I am by no means any sort of baking guru, but you can google “gum paste flowers” and get lots of tutorials ^_^ which I’m now realizing is what I should have done….yep. Genius.
Also, straws are good. Little circles. Yay!
For the easiest one I just cut out the same shape in candy. I suggest that you squish it on, flip it over and squish/peel the edges off like I’m doing. It’s easier than trying to peel the shape from the table. Don’t forget to attach everything with corn syrup or honey!
A little derpy. I need practice!
