Step 1: Add the Icing Sugar

Apply a little icing sugar so the icing doesn't stick to your work surface and then out your sugar paste. Try to get the thickness just right, not too thick otherwise the shapes will take a long time to dry but not too thin either as this could result in them being difficult to work with once you have made your cuts.

Step 2: Cut your shapes

Take your cutter and stick it down, wiggle if necessary and then remove it and place it to the side. The beauty of these is that you can make them in advance because they last for months as long as they are stored correctly. Now use the pink sugar paste to make some more sugar paste flowers, it's nice to have two differing sizes of cutter in contrasting colours for the outer and inner flower.
