How To Decorate Cakes With Gelatin Flowers?

This cake decorating tutorial demonstrates how to create delicate and slightly transparent gelatin flowers, bows, and butterflies using a technique that involves mixing 2 1/2 parts water and 1 part gelatin (unflavored like Knox). The Chrysanthemum flower can be made using two colors and double petals, making it perfect for cake decoration. The process is easy and light, as the flowers are all hand-painted.

To make a round gelatin art cake, follow the steps required for the cake. For individual flowers, visit the instructions page. The recipe involves grouping the petals and leaves together, using paper stamens for a paper-like appearance, and cutting them into strips. A small drop of gelatin is then attached to the petals, and a paperclip is added to hold them together for 10-15 minutes until set.

To make gelatin art, prepare the gelatin base by mixing 1 Tbsp gelatin powder, 3 Tbsp cold water, 1 Cup heavy whipping cream, 1/2 Cup sugar, 1 drop food flavoring, and 3/4 Tbsp white food. To make the cake, first prepare clear gelatin and then inject color petals using a gelatin art tool. High-quality gelatin is used for this process.
