What is Cold Porcelain?
Cold porcelain is actually an air drying modelling clay. All the flowers and leaves started their life as a lump a white clay! Each petal and leaf is then cut, coloured and dusted and wired together to create beautiful realistic flowers and foliage. Cold porcelain has a lot of advantages over sugar as it very long lasting and doesn't break. Although cold porcelain isn't toxic, it's not a food safe product, you can't place it directly on a cake. A barrier must be used such as food grade acetate, rice paper, or they must positioned in such a way that the sprays don't touch the surface of the cake. The wires can be inserted into a posy pick which is pushed into the desired position on your cake. I can offer advice on how to do this, just drop me a line. One of the lovely things about cold porcelain sprays is that they can be taken off the cake and then arranged for a floral display or framed to remember your special occasion.
Caring for Cold Porcelain Flowers
General cleaning care
Cold Porcelain is flexible to the touch, and won’t break easily. Dust lightly, a soft make -up brush works well. It is important that the flowers stay dry and also keep out of direct sunlight as much as possible to prevent fading.
What happens if my flowers break?
In the unlikely event that a petal breaks or a flower becomes loose from a clay ornament, it is easy to re-attach with pva glue (only use this) and a cocktail stick. Just hold in place until the glue dries. If you get stuck at all or would like any advise drop me a line and I will be able to help.
Please always remember cold porcelain flowers are a decorative item only and are not suitable for children. Keep out of the reach of children and pets
