This is a short tutorial how to make Kermit mums that I’ve previously presented to you through my ” Wedding cake to remember” post.

Here is a quick and inexpensive way to make Kermit Mums with a regular Wilton Daisy cut out set!

* I have used the Scott Clark Woolley’s gum paste recipe, he gave a very nice detailed instruction how to mix it, check it out!

You will need:

– a walnut size gum paste
– a small rolling pin
– the Wilton daisy cut outs
– some corn starch
– something to cover your gum paste ( a box, a bag, a cup…)
– some soda caps ( large bottles of Pepsi, mineral water etc)( I’ve used the caps, but you can use anything that has a similar shape will work!)
– a ball shape gum paste tool ( or something like it)
– small brush and water

* Note: You don’t have to use particular tools for this! If you find something with a useful shape, you can use virtually anything!

Making the Kermit Mums- read the instructions and then watch the movie!

1. Roll out the gum paste and cut 4 medium and 6 small size daisy cutouts.

2. Take a damp brush ( not wet!) and wet the center of one of the medium cutouts then add another one of the medium cutouts on top of it. Repeat with the rest of the medium cutouts as you rotate the petals, so you can’t see the surface underneath ( i.e the table).


3. When you finish with all of the medium cutouts, repeat the same with the small cutouts.

4. Brush with damp brush the center of the top medium cutout and place all of the small cutouts on top. With the smallest ball-shape tool ( dipped in cornstarch first!) go through all of them at once. Remove the flower from the ball-shaped tool.


5. With a damp brush go over the middle of the top smallest cutout. Adjust the petals to look more realistic and place in the bottle cap you have ready.


6. Let them dry as long as possible, can be used as soon as 30 min after preparation. For best results wait a day or so.

I hope you find this tutorial useful!
