Frequently Asked Questions

What is a veiner tool used for in sugar flower making?

A veiner tool has a thin, ridged, or pointed tip used to press vein impressions into gum paste or fondant petals. Running the veiner along the surface of a petal creates the impression of natural leaf veins. When paired with a friller tip, you can both vein and ruffle a petal's edges for a fully realistic result.

How much fondant do I need to cover my cake before adding decorations?
