Is there any one book that anyone thinks is better than the other for learning to make gumpaste flowers? I saw all the gumpaste flower instruction books here in CC's online store, and wondered which one was the best. I appreciate your opinions! Thanks!

In my opinion, for the money and for what you get in the book I would say Nicholas Lodge's little booklet called "A Potpourri of flowers" It has 16 gumpaste flowers, patterns, color photos and if you have any experience in gumpaste and the right tools I think you can follow right along with his instructions. I would also highly recommend any of his flower DVD or VHS tapes, they are inexpensive and so easy to follow along with.
