DebbieSAChef said:They are made with fondant. It was easier than I thought it would be. I did however roll it out very thin but not too thin to actually have them look like flowers. I enjoy working with fondant. I have made letters, stars, pearls, the borders on the cake and many other things with fondant. It's great to work with and so pretty. Plus they sell them in so many different colors even pastels.

I'm going to try it. I'm going to make a cake for my nephew next month.
