Thanks! I could not for the life of me remember the other supply sites.. Long day and too much brain-draining stress.

I haven't seen that before, how the heck do you make roses on there and then get them off? Janice

You dont have to make the base.. then you use your rose scissors as you turn the nail to remove it

I haven't seen them before either. Do you have to let the rose dry a bit before taking them off?

not from what I saw.. I saw it on TV and you pipe the rose as normal and place you scissors under it and twist the nail as you lift the flower

That's really cool! I like the dowel rod roses and I want to try out that nail because the cone is where I usually have my problems!

I can make the cones all right and if I let them set out a bit before I do the petals it helps but my biggest problem is that the little square of waxed paper keeps sliding around on the nail. Even if I put frosting on it. I must be doing something wrong.

I used ticky-tacky once and the paper stuck so darned much that I messed up the rose just trying to get it off the nail.

There HAS to be an easier way.

funny cakes - try floral tack. Its like ticky tack, but less sticky. I don't know if that's its actual name or not. But that's what i use and don't have sticky issues.

Thank you for the tip! I will definetly get some and try it.
