I do have the gumpaste flower book from wilton but was looking for more books or tutorials on making gumpaste flowers. can anyone tell me any good books or website tutorials.. I appreciate it. Shana

Another thread on Calla Lilies:

But if you scroll toward the bottom it also has info on Gumpaste Irises and tutorial on Oriental/Asian Lilies.

Wow, the sugarcraft site is great! So much information to digest. I'm overwhelmed icon_razz.gif . Many thanks Jan. Will surely post photos as I work on each learning project. I just tried a Chocolate Rolled Fondant recipe which uses cooking chocolate, maltose, sugar and water. I tried it on 2 different brand of dark chocolate and one white chocolate. Only one dark chocolate turn out hard enough to roll. The other 2 are too soft. Still trying to figure out what went wrong icon_cry.gif

After reading your following post I think the recipe is more a chocolate clay. Can't find corn syrup here. Have to work out the proportion of the recipe.
