Coloring the fondant wasn’t difficult but it was tiring. The fondant actually became soft because of the amount of coloring, making it slightly difficult to work with. I was pleased with the end result though. I want my cake to be gray and yellow because it’s the Pantone colors of the year.
Making the gumpaste flower was fun and relaxing. Almost therapeutic in a way. I decide to leave the gumpaste white rather than color it. I was worried it would get soft and sticky like the fondant.
I never been any good at making roses. However, I was quite pleased at the look of this one. Roses are just not my flower, whether they are real or fake.
