Astronaut Gelatin Flower Cake Tutorial

Skill level: Intermediate

I got a chance to make a space-themed floral cake for one of my best friend's for her daughter's birthday. I love trying to mix together seemingly-unrelated themes and this was a real treat.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to pick, flatten and attach edible flowers to a cake, how to coat the flowers in a translucent gelatin that creates this beautiful effect similar to 3D jelly cakes and topped the cake with a hand-sculpted Astronaut.
