Hi guys and gals,
Hubby bought me the Wilton gumpaste kit and I am teaching myself how to make the gumpaste flowers. I made my first gumpaste rose today and was very impressed with how lifelike the gumpaste flowers look. My question is ...how do I make the roses bigger? Do I just roll the pedals thinner and bigger, add more pedals, or are there larger rose cutters than the ones that come with this set? Thanks for your help.

Joanie

well, i don't usually use cutters. I posted a how-to on roses and these are made without cutters, so you can vary the size as much as you'd like to. Here is the link to the forum, just scroll down some. Hope it helps you!
