You aren't going to find tutorials on too many gumpaste flowers, maybe roses. Your best bet would be to order a little booklet by Nicholas Lodge, called "A Potpourri Of Flowers" it is only around $15.00 and has 16 gumpaste flowers with instructions, color photos and some patterns. But you aren't going to be able to recreate any really lovely flowers without the proper tools. Here is a link to what I consider a basic gumpaste tool kit. And a link to Nic's booklet.

I would be happy to send you the instructions I have for the flowers you asked about, pm me your email address. But even with the instructions you will still need the cutters, veiners and tools.
