How to make a wired flower center

This is what I used:

Black gum paste

22 gauge wire

black stamens

needlenose pliers

gumglue

Step 1:

Step 2:

Again, using the needlenose pliers, curl one end of the wire to create a hook.

Step 3:

Step 4:

Place a small dab of gumglue onto the end of the wire that has the hook that you created.  Then place the black gumpaste ball onto the wire.

Step 5: 

Step 6:

Step 7: 

Step 8:

Finally, stick the pieces of stamen into the flat part on top.

And there you go, a simple wired flower center!

Happy Caking!
