My favorite sugar flower cutters and veiners
Posted on May 7th, 2007 in Cake Tools
This is one of my favourite tools. It is a simple and easy silicone flower veiner and used together with small 5-petal flower cutters it makes beautiful little sugar flowers. The flower cutters I use most with it is: 5-petal (Orchard Products) and Petunia flowers(Tinkertech Two) When I make the sugar flowers I use sugar paste with a little CMC to make it hold its form when drying. You can buy the flower veiner here, the petunia cutter here and here. Note: There are two different sizes of the petunia cutter by Tinkertech Two that is best to use with the silicone veiner.

This veiner is from Argentina. But you can get one very similar from Global Sugar Art.com

I was unable to open the link for the flower veiner; can you help me with that? Is it also available from Global Sugar Art? If so, can you give the “exact” name of it as I attempted to search for it on GSA’s website & couldn’t locate it. Thanks.

Hi Bev.
Apparently they have changed the link. However I have looked at GSA and it seems that it must be out of stock at the moment.
I have a link to Sunflower Sugar Art who make the veiner. Its the one called: double sided blossom with cutter: http://www.sunflower-sugarart.co.uk/eGallery/categories.php?cat_id=4&page=2
Try and write to GSA and hear when it will be in stock again.

Thank you for the sunflower sugar art link for the flower veiner. Is that also where you got the butterfly veiner (for the cake and cupcakes you made with chocolate frosting and pink butterflies and flowers)? Thank you for everything, you really are so helpful!

Some stupid questions prpbably: 1) which size of the petunia cutter do you use? 2) what size star tip do you use to make your beautiful cupcake swirls?
10. Louise

Tracy: offcourse you can ask:-) I use only the small and medium sized petunia cutters.
I use Wilton tip 1M for my swirls.

i just ordered this veiner from http://www.decoratethecake.com.
the lady there is melissa and she is a very helpful person. she has a 40% off for this month (june) so hurry on over there and buy some veiners. i bought a few myself. and for those who are out of the USA, as I am, go ahead and buy from her because she really helps with optimizing postage cost. unlike on eBay where sellers charge ridiculous amount for shipping.

I would really like to purchase the veiner and the Petunia cutter and another flower cutter as well, but i am worried that the flower cutter will be to big for the veiner. Do all the cutters fit inside the veiner? Thank you

Rachel: I use the three smallest sizes for the veiner and that works ok.

Hi Louise,
I was wondering where I’d be able to find out about coupon codes for the veiners on decorate the cake site?

In your description above regarding how you make the sugar paste flowers you mention CMC. Could you please tell me what that is. I am new at this.
35. Louise
April 26th, 2010 10:10 pm
Debbie DellaCamera: Tylo powder (CMC) is carboxy methyl cellulose. Its synthetic so it is cheaper than Gum Tragacanth but both brand works the same. You will need this for flower, figure making ect. I always have this at home. It also makes the best edible glue.
