Circle Gumpaste Flower

Hello Everyone,

CYBERSTALK ME!!!!!  (I like it).

I am slowly but surely coming down from my cheesecake high.  Working on my Threadcake entry and doing other stuff like making this:

I love these flowers and guess what they are stupid easy to make (I was gonna write "super" but it came out as "stupid" and you know...I am gonna keep it that way).

Want to make these flowers and impress your friends?  Well then, let us begin.

Once you are done with that make a cake. 

Frost your cake.

Stick flowers on.

I have LOADS of problems with this stupid cake.  I was cursing the baking gods asking them WHY?!?!?

This is when I realized that my buttercream was starting to melt.  I have never had this problem!  Melting...WHAT ARE YOU DOING BUTTERCREAM!!!!

I scrapped off the buttercream and threw it out.  Made another batch, that seemed fine...but was really soft as well.  

This isnt what I envisioned....but it will have to do.

Love and Frosting,

Cup-e-Cake Gang
