Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flower former used for?

A flower former holds gum paste or fondant petals in a cupped position while they dry, allowing them to set with a realistic three-dimensional shape rather than drying flat.

Can I use flower formers with royal icing?

Yes. Pipe your royal icing flowers on parchment, then carefully place them onto the former while still soft so they dry in a cupped shape for a more dimensional look.
