How to make stamens, for example, for this sugar Peony.
Or for any other flower that can be used to decorate the cake.
We will need: Confectionery glue. There is a video on my channel on how to make it. Powdered sugar, corn starch, thread. Scissors and ruler.
I measure a thread 21 centimeters long. and I wind 12 such segments. I cut with scissors. Now I apply glue to the threads. This is necessary so that the threads become rigid. I separate the threads and transfer them to a flat surface. I leave it to dry on the counter for about 30 minutes. After drying, I remove the threads and cut into 3 parts. Each piece should be 7 cm long.
To prepare the mixture I will need: a spoonful of glue, a spoonful of powdered sugar, a spoonful of starch. I mix everything and paint it the desired color. Then I take a piping bag or ziplock bag and fill it with the mixture. I cut off the tip 1 mm in size. And I squeeze the mixture onto the stamen filaments on one side and the other. I transfer it to dry on a rack. I made it from Lego) The stamens should be 1 cm apart from each other and the tips should hang in the air. This is necessary so that the stamens do not stick together. Dry for about 1 hour.
That's it, the stamens are ready! Visit my channel and watch other videos on sugar floristry.
