2. Extend a section of modeling paste and use the largest cutter to carve out a piece. I use PME cutters because they work excellent and produce incredibly clean cuts. Keep in mind that the paste needs to be thick (between 3 and 4mm). Leaves on succulents are incredibly thick.
3. Use a plastic knife to cut each petal into five pieces, each of which will resemble a teardrop.
4. Split a wire into four equal pieces. Put edible glue on the wire’s tip, then push it 1 cm into the leaf. Use a ball tool to make the leaf’s edges razor-sharp. Always do it on a foam pad.
5. Make a tiny pinch in the middle of the leaf’s upper portion. After placing it on a plastic spoon, let it air dry for 24 to 48 hours. For each size of leaf, the process must be repeated five times. You’ll receive 5 enormous, 5 large, 5 medium, and 5 little leaves.
6. Form a cone out of a tiny amount of modeling paste (7 grams approximately).
7. Use some edible glue to pierce the cone in a third of the wire (gauge 20). Make two cuts with a pair of tiny scissors on the top portion to divide it into three.
8. Create some tiny, green pea-sized balls and form them into a teardrop shape. After that, flatten them to form a pointed leaf. Six tiny leaves are required. Add two layers of glue, each with three leaves.
9. To paint the foliage, use three different hues. To begin, shade the entire leaf with a mixture of Rainbow Dust Lime Zest and Rainbow Dust Autumn Green. Next, apply some Autumn Green to the top half.
10. Utilizing a little brush and Rainbow Dust Burgundy, darken the leaf tips. Also apply it to the center.
11. Before assembling the entire plant, join all the leaves according to size. To prevent confusion and assembling leaves of various sizes in one layer, the previous step is essential.
12. Start by wiring the tiniest leaves. Roll their cables into the main wire to do this. Roll the wires in the same direction each time.
13. Use flowery tape to cover all the wires.
14, 15 & 16. Continually wire the leaves. The medium ones come first, followed by the large one and then the enormous ones. The method of assembly is the same as before.
Construct one or more succulent plants and poke them into the cake if you want to make a cake that looks like a plant pot. Sprinkle crushed oreos on the plant container to create a black powder that is ideal for emphasizing the succulents. Once done, just squeeze the succulents. Simple and ideal cake.
