Starting the process of using gumpaste and make pretty delicate flowers is not as hard as it looks. Filler flowers are a great flower to get started with if you are new to cake decorating and have limited equipment. The great thing about making these ‘Filler Flowers’ is they need NO CUTTERS! Yes, that’s right, NO CUTTERS!
If you need some Gumpaste to start making these flowers you can check out my:

Sugar Glue / Edible Glue Recipe
Clean Container for storing the glue
¼ tsp CMC or Tylose powder
1/3 cup of boiled water (that has cooled slightly)
This recipe is for a small quantity to get you started if you need more, just double the recipe. Take a clean container, add 1/4 tsp of CMC or Tylose powder, then add 1/3 cup of boiled water (that has cooled slightly), pour the water over the CMC or Tylose powder give it a stir or a shake. Leave it overnight or for at least for 4 hours until cooled to room temperature. It may look cloudy at first, with lumps, but don’t worry about this, the lumps will dissolve, and you will be left with a clear solution, that can be used on any edible creation. Once made up, it must be stored in the fridge and can be kept for up to 1 month.
