Every day I have at least 2 pms (sometimes 10) asking me how to make certain gumpaste flowers, and although I am always willing to share or answers questions when I can, I hesitate to give directions when you can no longer buy the cutters and veiners needed to make these flowers. Today while searching for gumpaste Poppy cutters and veiners, this site came up. Really detailed tutorials on gumpaste flowers. Click on each category, but also click on "home" and check out their other tutorials on icing, fondant, etc.
For instance, on nearly all of the flowers I make I use my cutters and veiners from years ago made by Rosemary Watson's Sugar Bouquets. No one I know of carries the same quality or even something close, so you have to hunt and peck when looking for them. Even with these tutorials you may have to do that, but on the Poppies I can see using a rose petal cutter and either an all purpose veiner or even a dried corn husk to vein the petals. So, here is the link, take from it what interests or applies to you.

I agree Rosemary was the best, I learned to make flowers with her videos, I woner what happened to her...
Thank you
