How to make Gumpaste Hydrangea - Sugar Flowers

Gumpaste hydrangea is a great mini sugar flower for cakes that do not need much effort. It has a small little center that can be wired or unwired and four petals that work great with just a single cutter.

These work great as filler flowers as well as on their own when used in abundance.
