Beth of Hungry Happenings taught me how to make Candy Clay and let me tell you it was LIFE CHANGING. So much better tasting than fondant and easy to use. You can get her book on Amazon and it comes with cute recipes along with step by step instructions!
Roll out candy clay and cut flower shapes using a daisy cookie cutter.
Push in sugar pears in the middle of each flower.
Cut open a paper towel tube and line with parchment paper. Place candy clay flowers in the middle to dry overnight. This gives a nice curve to the flower blossoms.
Roll out candy clay into long tubes. Press together the rolls to make a rainbow and let dry for 24 hours.
Place flowers on cake. Add some small flower icing decorations too!
Place the rainbow on the clouds.
