With Mother's Day only three days away, I thought I would share a quick, easy and cute way for you to celebrate MOM.
All it takes is a little gum paste, edible paper, letter cutters, a couple straws, floral wire and of course...lots of love.
My 'M" on the right is a little scraggly. To prevent this, take the time to dip your cutters in a little cornstarch before cutting, to avoid having to rip the letter out, mutilating it in the process. Also, have a little more patience than I did, and let them dry a little before handling. Also, be sure to clean up the edges of the letters for a sharper, neater finish. Finally, I think, perhaps twine instead of wire would have hung a little better.
Now that I have schooled you in the ways of doing what I say, not as I do, let's get started. It really is child's play!
They're just as cute in itty-bitty little heart shapes like those below and as flowers, which I will share another time. You will notice at the end, I decided to use clear straws instead of the striped.
Hope you enjoyed!
See you back here in a couple days for a bananatastic cake that goes great with this topper.
