I've always been a big fan of peonies. Not only do they have the pretty factor, but they have a sense of elegance about them, which is probrably why a lot of brides choose them for their bouquets - my sister-in-law was no exception. Having some rare free time on my hands, I decided to create some different peonies out of gumpaste to add to my portfolio collection. The Garden Peony, at the top left corner, is my favourite thus far. The Peony Rose petal dust,
just adds that touch of brightness that is so readily seen in peonies.

And last but not least, the hot pink open peony, pictured on the left. I used the same Peony Rose petal dust, as with the Garden Peony. However, to colour the gumpaste, I used Soft Pink and Electric Pink soft gel paste from Americolour.Pretty pink peonies...I love it!
Beautiful - I love each shade of pink! They are sharp, delicate and so elegant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Juanita - I think pink is my new favourite colour!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love all of them. Fabulous job :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try them out! I bought my cutters!
How beautiful! I am a gardener and grew peonies a few years back, and they are still among my favorites! I recently started to learn making gumpaste peonies. Would you share which cutters you used? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annapet! For the top flower, I used a garden peony cutter. For the last two flowers, I used the peony cutters from Sunflower Sugar Art.
DeleteThank you, Angela! I love, love your site. You know I'll be her any chance I get.
