  • Edible glue
* You'll find the amounts in the 'AMOUNTS' tab.
9 cm
Flower paste (gum paste)*:
  • ivory - 108 g
  • brown - 45 g
  • red - 12 g
  • dusky pink** - 1 g
  • black - 1 g
  • dark green - 4 mm ball

* You don't have to use the same type of paste as me. Please use the paste you are used to and like the most. If you decide to use sugarpaste (fondant) add CMC (Carboxymethyl cellulose) powder to it to make the paste thicker. That way the cake topper won't sink.
** Mix pink with a little bit of black.
