Decorating By heavenlys Updated 13 Sep 2009 , 4:06pm by Teekakes
I have made gumpaste roses and call lilies some daisies but I see cakes overflowing with beautiful gumpast flowers and I long to know how! Send me in the right direction. I am in the middle of Iowa not alot of Cake classes in my neck of the woods. TIA
Look on youtube. Especially at "tonedna1" video tutorials. She explains everything really clearly.
Good luck
DVDs are great at teaching flowers, most of them are not difficult as they look.
Order the dvds with the cutters you need so you get to work right away, have wire and tape and the necessary tools that you use for every flower.
Start with one flower, and when you master it go to the next.
I like Nicholas Lodge DVDs you can find them at global sugar art.
Take a look at the flowers in my photos, I learned all by DVDs, when ever you need guidance, this is what cake central if for
I taught myself of what little I know. I sat on rainy Sundays and played a lot with the gum paste it even relieved some stress

Tonedna just got out a DVD on how to make stargazer lilies. I just saw a tutorial on Youtube.
Wilton has a very good Gumpaste Flowers kit that comes with the cutters and a detailed pictoral book on how to create a variety of flowers for 19.99 at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, or any other place that carries Wilton supplies. It is an excellent investment for learning gumpaste flowers IMO.
Great place to start then move on up from there if you want to.
