Frangipani - Plumeria Gumpaste Flowers
I did it, I did it!!! Yeah!!! (Yes I'm doing a happy dance!!) I've wanted to try these for so long... they're one of my favorite flowers. Wish I could grow them here in St. Louis! I know they're not perfect but I actually made them pretty close and colored them pretty good too if I do say so myself. I can't decide if they should be thicker or thinner petals. One book shows 1/16 and the other is like tissue paper (see through) thin. I'll keep trying but for now I'm happy! Enjoy!
great job. Could you do a tutorial for the rest of us? They are really nice.
Yay Paula, I knew you could do it! They look great.
Wow I've just starting learning flowers too... these are REALLY REALLY good! Fiddly little suckers aren't they?
Well before reading what you said, I thought that they were pics of real flowers. You did AWSOME!
super job! can you pls tell us how to make them? i've tried and still haven't goten anywhere in making plumerias.
I don't know that I'm qualified to do a tutorial but thanks for that great vote of confidence!! Wilton showed using their metal leaf cutter and cut 5 petals. Put the pointy end to the middle, glue, and lay them in a fan like manner. Curl the top outer edge and shape using a large lily nail. Pinch bottom together. Let dry and color. I'm still not sure on thickness though. One source showed tissue paper thin, the other 1/16. ??? Anyone who does these have any suggestions? They still need work....
very nice one of my favorites too!

How big are these flowers in diameter? I want to make them and put them on a cake, I just don't know what size to use...
They are about 2-3 inches across.
