Earlier final calendar month I spotted a photograph on instagram of a flowery loot of enamel brooches.  I bookmarked it too kept wanting to recreate it somehow.  So when I came across a flowery mold for candies, I knew a cake was inwards order.  Check out the brooch collection icon past times @magpieethel below. Isn't it stunning?

It was hard to check her vibrant collection using candy nutrient colouring, but it was a fun projection too I idea it would brand a beautiful cake for a Cinco de Mayo political party or fifty-fifty Mother's Day perhaps.  Also if yous always convey made melted candies, yous volition know how tardily they are to make.  I sped everything upwards past times popping each mold inwards the freezer too a ready could last made inwards but a couplet of minutes.

How to:
The instructions are fairly simple.  I but made a pump shaped cake too therefore rolled some white fondant icing on top.  For the flowers (see below).

Flower Candy Melts
(Make the bloom candies ahead of time)
silicone candy bloom molds
1 parcel of pinkish Wilton Candy Melts
1 parcel of white Wilton Candy Melts
H5N1 ready of Wilton Candy nutrient colouring (note: regular nutrient colouring won't work)
microwave

Melt about 10 melts inwards the microwave for thirty seconds.  Stir, too microwave inwards 10 2d intervals until good melted.

To brand dissimilar colours. We made a few variations.  To brand a peach colour, nosotros added a flake of orangish nutrient colouring (1 drop) to close 10 pinkish candy melts.  We made 2 dissimilar shades of yellow, for the pale xanthous add together xanthous nutrient colouring (1 drop) to 10 white melts.  For the darker, nosotros added close iii drops to the white melts. For the bluish nosotros added 1 drib of bluish to close v white candy melts.  For light-green mix 1 drib of bluish too 1 drib of yellow.  You tin brand them a flake darker past times adding to a greater extent than drops of each colour.

Pour into the bloom molds too permit sit down until cooled (approximately v minutes if yous set them inwards the fridge).  Pop out too brand more!  And that's it!

They would likewise hold off actually pretty on regular buttercream icing on whatever shaped cake.
