Gumpaste Roses
I've been working on these flowers for weeks learning as I went. I have never taken any classes so I've been scouring youtube for videos to make the steps easier but it is still very time consuming. Whenever I have an extra hour or so I would sit at my dinner table and roll, cut, roll, cut. There are 20+ petals in each flower...individually cut circles, ruffled edges and formed to open. Each flower takes the combined time of probably one half hour each not including the drying between each layer of petals. Yesterday I did my final touches by petal dusting them with pinks and yellows. I have very high respect for cake artists that can create so many different flowers that are beautiful..one day I'll get there!!!
