Different flowers carried different meaning. Carla Lily is one of my favourite flowers because of its simply white color and shape. It’s just simply elegant.
Like most flowers, the Carla Lily has a symbolic meaning. It is, ironically, associated with purity and magnificent beauty because of its white color. It is a trumpet-shaped flower, making it appealing and elegant.
You will need:
How to make the flower:
Roll out a small piece of white gum paste less than 1/16 in. thick using rolling pin with pink guide rings. Cut with Carla Lily cutter.
Move to thin foam. Use the ball tool. Set to thin edges. Hold the ball tool like a pencil and position it on the foam, just touching the edge of the gum paste. Slide the ball tool around the petal, keeping it mostly on the foam, to “outline” the petal. The ball tool should only touch the petal edge.
Dust Carla Lily former with confectioners’ sugar or cornstarch to avoid sticking. Position former over petal with the wide end toward the point of the petal and the pointed end of the former at the indented end of the petal.
Wrap one side of the petal around the former. Brush edge of rounded portion with gum glue adhesive.
Wrap the other side of petal so it overlaps the first petal and attach to make a cone-shaped flower. With finger tip gently curl the edge of the overlapping petal. Stand former upright and set aside to dry.
Cut out a small amount of yellow gum paste 1/8 in. thick (use purple guide rings). Cut a circle with medium round cut-out. Cut circle in half. Use one half to make the center.
Roll into a ball and elongate to about 1 1/4 in. long for the Calla Lily center.
Brush the top 3/4 of the center with gum glue adhesive and roll in yellow colored sugar. Set aside to partially dry.
Enjoy!!
