How To: Air dry flowers made from buttercream frosting to use as cake decorations

Here's an idea...if you're using buttercream icing for these flowers, let them top dry to add the pearl dust, then put them in the fridge. The cold will solidify even the larger flowers like the hydrangea and gerbera and they'll peal easily off the paper, waxed or parchment :) I've done buttercream transfer cakes for years and have even sped up the solidifying process by putting it in the freezer, but don't get cocky, keep checking the freezer or your colours might freeze and run!
