First attempt using fondant...

.. so back in May I was asked to make cupcakes for a friends bridal shower. I agreed and figured it would be a good idea for me to try my hand at creating fondant flowers. I wish I would have done the step by step photos... anyway, it ended up not being scary at all! Actually, I found it to be quite therapeutic and fun!!

I can now check off small fondant daisy flowers from my 'baking to do list'. ;-)

*her wedding colors were marine blue and white. I used a form and a small ball tool to give the daisies a little depth and curve. Then I applied a very small amount of water from my brush to the center and slightly pressed the candy pearl into each daisy.
