Ok ladies and gents i need your help please.

Ive posted a pic of two fondant roses - the first ive ever made.
A 5 petal cutter was used for both but i varied the technique slightly with the petals.

Id appreciate any feedback on what i may have done right/wrong, which one looks better etc.

TIA

I'm no expert like many on here but from a simple taste point of view I prefer the one on the left. They both look great though, well done!

I like the one on the right best because the "ruffle"edges make it look more real. Great job for the first roses ever made!! Even for not first ones made!

They are both lovely! I'm not a pro on gumpaste roses but I like the slightly crinkly one alot. I guess it looks more full. Either one is nice.

I like the one on the right best. I tend to like more ruffly roses though and I'm a newbie myself so I'm not sure about giving you the criticism you want. They both look great for a beginner!

I love both of them; hard to believe they are your first ones!

I think you might use the one on the left when you want a simpler, more modern look to the cake,

and the one on the right when you are going for a more frilly or romantic look.

They are both lovely....but the one of the right just captures my eye.

They're beautiful...the one on the right is perfect.

If you could close up the center a bit more so that the center cone isn't visible, that would be good. The calyx looks a little big too but that might be the camera angle.

Thank you all so much
Endymion, i like the idea of using them both to obtain a different look - thanks for the tip

I agree with Texas Rose. They both look great. Closing up the center might be the only improvement needed. I used to have problems with closing up the center to, but after much practice, I finally have it mastered! You will top! Both roses will come in handy for different looks!
