Sweet Bouquets for Beginners
Made of caramel
If you are making a sweet bouquet for the first time, it is best to take a bouquet with minimal elements to begin with. So it will be easier for you to start, and then you can move on to more complex elements and decorations.
You'll need:
- Lilac Corrugated Paper
- White or purple threads
- Scissors
- Thin tape
- Serpentine or color ribbon
- Caramels of any shape and color
- Wooden skewers
Manufacturing process:
Using a wooden skewer, pierce the caramel package and use tape to fasten it like a leg.
To make flower leaves, take a corrugated sheet of paper and cut it into longitudinal, long strips. Then fold it and start cutting flowers, as shown in the figure. As a result, you should get a garland.
After each leaf stands, spread it with your fingers, stretching the paper. Be sure to give each petal a slightly curved shape using the usual paper roll.
Then on a wooden skewer, begin to fasten your leaves with adhesive tape. By the way, to make it more convenient, you can use double-sided tape. When the flower is formed, fix its base on the skewer with the help of threads and start wrapping the free part of the skewer with a green ribbon or serpentine.
Do the same with the rest of the flowers, depending on the amount you want to see in your bouquet. The most important number of flowers should be odd. After you form a bouquet that you can tie with a transparent ribbon for flowers, make a romantic bow or just put a bouquet in a decorative vase.
Original cupcake bunch
You'll need:
- Ready cupcakes can be of any color, as well as fillings.
- Cream for flowers (edible)
- A small plastic pot.
- Foam ball
- Double-sided tape
- Wooden toothpicks
Manufacturing process:
Insert a foam ball into a plastic pot, preferably in bright colors. By the way, you can use a different container for this manipulation, if there is no way to purchase a pot. The same thing applies to the foam ball. You can form it yourself out of paper using tape. Take the paper, make a big lump out of it, and then glue it completely with tape. You can take colored tape so that paper is not visible, however, this is not essential. On the ball itself, you need to mark the line connecting the pot and its center.
In the pot itself, it is worth pouring something to make it heavier. It can be caramels, but so that a ball can come in from above and the caramels do not interfere with it, or whatever groats are in the bag. Glue a strip of tape on the ball.
After that, remove the adhesive tape and set the ball in the pot, trying to make it sit tight.
From the central part of the ball to the pot you need to glue it with adhesive tape. This is to ensure that in the future your ball can withstand cupcakes.
Then starting from the center of the ball, stick two toothpicks into it, at an equal distance from each other (about 1 cm). The toothpick itself is worth sticking into the ball to such a depth that its peering part is less than the height of the cupcake itself.
After that, stick cupcakes on each toothpick, trying to do it as close to each other as possible.
Then, using a pastry bag, draw cream roses on each cupcake. It is advisable to pick up the cream in a delicate color resembling pink buds.
