Sugar Peony

 Ordered a new peony cutter and was excited to try it out.  I love peonies in nature and these were easy and fun to make.  My husband asked where I got the flower because it is the wrong time of year for flowers like these.  That was a big complement for him to think they were real.

A close up of the detail on the petals.  Was trying to follow a picture in a magazine.

The one on the left was my first try and  was not ruffled enough for me.  The one on the right is with the adjustment.  Like it better.  I marbled the gum paste just slightly for the center petals.

With my hand in the picture, you can see that they are a good sized flower.
