You will need: • Powdered Petal Dust I used Carolines Apple Green, Fuchsia, Plum, Lemon & CK Lime Green. • Decorators Rose Spirit • Assorted Paint Brushes • Paint Palette • White fondant covered cake f Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Start by placing a small amount of pink dust into the palette. Add around 5 - 6 drops of rose spirit to dilute the powder. Dip a small fluffy brush into the paint, wiping off as much excess as possible. Start to paint onto the cake using blotting motions of the paintbrush. Keep this blotting motion to create a circular, floral shape. Re- dip the paint brush into the paint & add further colour into the centre of the flower. To create a more ‘watercolour’ look, place a clean brush directly into the rose spirit and brush onto the pink flower. This will move the colour & create a less saturated look.
