Step 7
Mix some Rose Gold Lustre dust with a little rose spirit to make a fairly dry paste and lightly brush over the flower petals highlighting the designs . We have left some flowers without lustre for contrast . Make a thicker paste for better coverage and paint the bees .
Step 8
Add a little edible glue to some of the flower centers and dust on some Rose Gold Glitz with a soft brush . PRO TIP : we find it easier to lightly tap our paint brush loaded with some glitz to apply it rather than touching the fondant with the glitz loaded brush .
Step 9 Apply the flowers along the top edge of the ganache ( some extending higher ) and at the base using edible glue on the back similar to our design . Place a few flowers on top of the cake towards the front . Position your little bees ! PRO TIP : Make sure to leave a few flowers and a bee for final touches once your floral arrangement is in place .
