Sugar Craft Week 3: Calix, rosehips and Carnations

So another Tuesday night and I took five new roses to my class, the old ones had a little accident and smashed into very small pieces. This we we put the calix on the rose (it is the little green leafy bit at the bottom) and then we put the rosehip on.
Rosehips are the little round bit at the bottom of the rose where the seeds grow. they are usually green but turn orange/red in the autumn.

So the roses now look like this.

we then made a carnation, they are fiddly to make but the look affective.

there is no class next week but I have a birthday cake to make...
