Here Vida shows us how to make the centre of the magnolia flower as well as the petals. A pair of very small scissors or even some bent nose tweezers would be handy to use for the stamen.

6. Dusting the petals and stamen

Now that the petals and stamen have set. It’s time to apply the first layer of dust using a nice soft brush. A handy tip to save waste is to put the dusts onto tin foil so you can pour the unused dust back into the tubs when you are finished.

7. Putting the flower together

You don’t always need the fancy gadgets! Here Vida shows us that the humble kettle works perfectly as a steamer. Steaming the petals and stamens deepens the colour of the dusts and prevents it from falling onto the cake.
