Remember all the strawberries do not have a perfect shape!
Step 4: Take the narrow end of the veining tool to make indention’s like you find on real strawberry.
Step 5: Take a small calyx cutter or a small flower cutter to make the calyx out of green gum paste. Use the veining tool to flatten each calyx or flower petal on dusted thin foam.
