Hi,

Are there any good tutorials on the internet that explains how to make either fondant or gumpaste grapes? (Yes, I know it's just rolling the paste into balls, but I'd like to know how to put details on there, like color and size variations, etc). And also how to do the leaves and vines.

Thanks,
Christine

Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately, I'm not good at copying at all. icon_redface.gif
I'm an engineer by trade and not very imaginative in that way. hahaha icon_smile.gif
Luckily, someone very nice took pity on me and now I have the answer to my question.

Thanks,
Christine
