The stems are made out of kebab skewers cut in half, but I made the stamens too big at first so a couple of them are out of proportion.

A problem I encountered was that the amount of colour needed made the paste very sticky and so I had to roll out the icing a few too many times. This meant that by the end, the colour had been reduce by the amount of icing sugar I was using to stop the icing from sticking to the worktop.

These are still made of sugarpaste, not flower paste which may be why I had problems with the icing. However they look quite effective for a first attempt at this flower.
