Gather Supplies
Before you begin, you’ll need to gather some supplies:- sugar paste
- a rolling pin
- a sharp knife
- a freesia cutter (or other flower cutter)
- some food coloring
Prepare The Sugar Paste
It goes without saying that creating a freesia out of sugar paste is a delicate process. The preparation of the sugar paste is the most important step in the entire process, as it will provide the base for your flower. To prepare the sugar paste, you’ll need to mix together icing sugar and water until you have achieved a pliable dough-like consistency. Once this has been achieved, knead the mixture for around five minutes to ensure that it is smooth and consistent throughout. You can then use food colouring to tint the paste before using a rolling pin to roll it out into thin sheets. Finally, use cutters or cookie cutters to cut out petals and leaves from the paste which can be used to construct your freesia.Create The Petals
Continuing on from the previous section, it’s now time to create the petals for your freesia. Begin by rolling out a small handful of sugar paste into a thin sheet, about 2mm thick. Use a freesia cutter – they come in various sizes and shapes – to cut out individual petals. Take care to ensure each petal is similar in size and shape as much as possible. Once you’ve finished cutting out all the petals, place them individually onto some greaseproof paper or wax paper and leave them somewhere warm until they dry out completely. This should take around an hour or two, depending on the temperature. Once dried, use edible glue to attach four petals together, then glue these together with another four until you’ve created a full bloom. Now your freesia is complete!Assemble The Freesia
To make a freesia from sugar paste, you’ll need to have the right tools and materials. Start by rolling out your sugar paste into a thin sheet. Then, use a rolling pin to flatten it out even more. Cut the sheet into strips, then roll them up with your fingers. Use scissors to cut small holes in each strip and shape the petals of the freesia. Finally, assemble the flower by placing the petals around a base made from two small pieces of rolled-up sugar paste. To finish off, add some detailing to the flower center with a tool or food coloring pen. With a bit of practice and patience, you’ll be able to create beautiful lifelike freesias for your edible creations!Attach The Freesia To Your Cake
To begin, start by making the petals for the freesia. Start with a ball of sugar paste, and roll it out into a thin sheet. Cut out five petal shapes from the sheet, making sure that each one is slightly different in size. Pinch the edges of each petal to create more realistic-looking freesia petals. Once you have all five petals ready, place them together on top of your cake, overlapping them slightly to create a flower shape. Using royal icing or buttercream, attach each of the petals to the cake securely to ensure they don’t move around while you work. Once all of your petals are securely in place, add a few drops of yellow food coloring to some more sugar paste and roll it out into a thin sheet. Cut out some tiny circles and use them as the center of your freesia flower. Attach these circles to your flower using royal icing or buttercream and finish off by adding some green leaves around your flower if desired.Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind Of Cake Is Best To Use For Attaching The Freesia?
When attaching freesia to a cake, it is important to consider the type of cake that is best suited for this purpose. Generally speaking, cakes with a dense texture are preferable as they will provide more stability when adhering the sugar paste flowers.
