Calla Lilies

 

    For the next couple labs, we will be creating a different type of flower each class. This class, we made calla lilies out of fondant. Personally, I don't think mine looked very realistic. However, I'm sure with lots of practice, a realistic looking lily could be achieved!

     We started the lily out by cutting out a heart shape and ruffling the edges with the ball tool. Then, we wrapped the heart around a cone flower former to let it set. While it was setting, we created a little sausage from fondant and dipped it in yellow sprinkles to form the middle part of the lily. We also created a green half circle for the calyx.

      I learned that flowers are kind of difficult to make and take lots of patience.
