hope this helps

I cant find a video, but in my Wilton gumpaste flower book there are directions. It comes with the gumpaste flower kit, maybe they might have the separate directions on their website.

Hi all, i have been practicing gumpaste roses and also fondant, i love working with fondant, i'm taking the wilton class in may. I have the stylist tools and wanted to know what i use the shell,and the one pointed that has edges. I've been looking for more flowers to make, i sae the one on tulips, i'd like to know how to make a carnation, i've made about 50 roses, some different types of bows, i'm practicing the butter cream, oh my poor poor rose it died several times. so i ate it. I made the wilton butter cream ewwwww way to sweet, i've had some really good butter cream is the iitalian real sweet. Thanks so much dnktat

I agree that the dianasdecoratingdiary tutorial is superb . I've used the Wilton fondant/gumpaste flower instructions and didn't like the results at all . The same goes for their carnation and rose instructions, by the way. I actually bought a pot of tulips to copy flowers for two cakes from, but they would've been a lot prettier if I'd seen the tutorial before I made them. I have a couple of "thank-you" cakes coming up this week and I think I'll decorate them with tulips following this tutorial .

I thought the tutorial was very easy to follow, some are confusing. i wonder is she has any more?

Glad you found the instructions easy to follow. I did the tutorial, and the spoons make all the difference I think.

What other flowers are you interested in?

just about any i'd like to know how to do the carnation, a daffodil would be cool. can you help me with my butter cream, i can do the leaf but i can't get the tip at the end, when i pull it away the tip doesn't come out pointed but the sides of the end do. can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. Thanks so much. Diane

oh ok i didn't get that one, i'll order it. Thank you Diane I did get the 101 kit from e bay slightly used for $41.00 i couldn't pass it up and had the number 1 class kit in it.

RockysMommy - thank you so much for the tulip tutorial. I am going to try making some of these tomorrow! Can't wait!!!

I have the tulip petal cutters but not the tulip veiner. What do you suggest I use (hoping I have something in my tools).

I live in Washington and tulips are in bloom just everywhere, they are soooo beautiful!!!

Thanks again, Carol
