Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi does anyone know of any Alan Dunn’s books that have how to make heather in them or know of any tutorials?

Thank you MIWL. I think I might try and put the customer off or see how she feels about artificial heather. Its gonna take me an absolute age to make them as well as thistles and can’t imagine the customer will want to pay so much money for a 70th birthday cake 🙂

Hello michelle

There’s a tutorial here https://www.pinterest.com/nelda215/fondant-chocolate-gumpaste/
I can’t access it because I don’t use pinterest. You can see from this image

the flower isn’t at all difficult to make. With a little modification, Paul’s tutorial of the jasmine flower bud in the Clematis course would work for this.
You may be able to borrow Alan Dunn books from your local library, I have some flower tutorials from him but non show heather. Would you believe non of my books which I have immediate access to have heather either! Sorry not able to help more, hope you find something suitable.
