Sweet peas: How to make gum paste sweet peas for cakes

In this cake decorating tutorial I show you how to make some sweet peas to decorate your cakes with. I use flower and modelling paste / gum paste in the video to make my sweet peas, you could also mix some fondant in there if you would prefer. Using only fondant may not be strong enough on it's own to stop the sweet pea from tearing, this is why it's a good idea to at least mix in some modelling paste / gum paste / sugar paste or mexican paste. You could also use fimo / polymer clay / sculpey to create your sweet pea flower, although then it may not be suitable for cakes. You can find links to the tools used, including the sweet pea cutters, below.

Hi, Zoe. You are probably THE best cake making UA-camr and teacher I have ever have. You really know your stuff when it comes to beautiful fondant cakes. I hope your movie and Halloween videos turn out great. I have a couple more questions, what inspired you to make videos, what camera do you use to make them look visually stunning, what is your favorite character cake that you've ever made, and what do you always look forward to when making your sweet (literally) videos? Please let me know. See ya soon, Zoe. Byron. :-) P.S., add me on Google+.

[@zoesfancycakes]

+Byron Chandler Thank you so much for the kind words. It was actually my brother who suggested recording some of the things I make to put them on UA-cam as he thought it might help a lot of people or even be entertaining for anyone who enjoys models and such. I just started using a Panasonic 750 I think it's called for the camera. I always look forward to seeing the comments on new videos to see what people think and to see which of my videos and cakes they prefer the most, I also love hearing what people want to see in the future!
