use the impression mats to give the petals their texture. i have also done flower pops with no texture and they are still cute as a button! if you don’t have an impression mat, don’t shy away, with the colors, chocolate and cake- can you really go wrong?!
place your petals one by one onto your impression mat and press the palm of your hand just hard enough onto the edges of the petals for the mat to leave the marks. if you press to hard, your petal will stick and be a pain to get off. if your petals are particularly sticky, you can put a little corn starch on
