2010 Orange County Fair Demo I did

Peony gumpaste flower with cake

I also did a demo at the fair for the first time on making a gumpaste Peony. I came with most of the pieces already made and assembled knowing I had only 1 hour to show how to make a complete flower. This particular flower takes at least 2 days to make from cutting the petas, shaping them, drying them, dusting them just the right colors, and then assemblinig it.


I had a lot of interest and questions about gumpaste and the flowers throughout my demo which was fantastic. It is always nice to share with others a craft to keep it going and for others to learn. One person that watched was so kind to email a picture of the cake and flower I made that I had with me... this is it... It was a lot of fun and hopefully next year they will be offering demos again and I can be part of it.
