Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Is there any way of inserting the wires neatly when making the petals other than using the veiner board which makes the grooves? Sorry if this seems a daft question, I just haven’t got the special board yet.

Hi Heather,
I made the Peony last year for a friends Birthday & didn’t use the veiner board i just fed the wires in carefully,
the other way is to roll the paste out then lay the wire on it & roll a little bit more.
btw i loved doing this tutorial.

Good Luck.

Hi Heather

When I make petals I roll out a small amount of paste with a cell stick, but I try to leave a thicker ridge in the middle by rolling from the middle outwards,(it’s very hard to explain).

There is a very good tuitorial on ‘Dustyroseveiners’ which shows you how to do it. I do it this way all the time with perfect results. I hope this helps.
