Gum Paste & Flower for cake decoration

Another interesting & easy flower, which look pretty on the cake. I used light yellow & red color for this flower. We can also use multicolor for more attractive. Gum paste can be used to make this pretty flower. But the only issue is it becomes hard very soon. So we have to act little fast & decorate it over the cake.

GUM PASTE

4 cups icing sugar
1 cup cornflour
Few drops of peppermint essence (or use fav flavour)
