This is video tutorial, demonstrating how I make a closed peony center, for either a bud or a closed style peony. SUBSCRIBE for new videos every Tuesday! I love peonies, they are beautiful flowers. While time consuming to create, they make for a beautiful bold statement flower on wedding or special occasion cakes! They are a large flower so you don't need too many to cover a lot of space! If you want to see how to make an open peony (my personal favorite!) check out my "Part 1" video, which covers an open peony start to finish. Part 1 also shows how to make the wired, outer petals so you can make a full blossom, even if you prefer the closed center.
