Steps 1 to 5

Dress up any cake with this dazzling floral design, which is easy to create with stamps and edible powders. The subtle shading of the edible powders can be created in a color scheme to suit the occasion, or for a wedding the embossing could be left white and just dusted with white powder to give it sparkle.

You Will Need
  • Piece of thick plastic or marble rolling board

  • Icing sugar

  • Sugar paste

  • Rolling pin

  • Large oval stamp

  • Sharp knife

  • Red, bronze, gold, and white edible powders

  • Fine paintbrush

  • Water

  • Cake iced with sugar paste


What to Do
1. Dust the board with some icing sugar and roll out a piece of sugar to taste.






2. Stamp onto the paste with the large oval stamp.






3. Cut out the embossed design with a knife. Repeat the process to make seven stamped ovals.






4. Brush a little red powder onto the center of each oval.







5. Brush bronze powder around the red, blending the colors together where they meet.
