I was wondering if anyone knows of a video on the web showing how to make gumpaste roses?
Thanks.
Nicholas Lodge shows how to do the Easy or also called the All In One Rose on his video called "Video Sugar Facts" and he sells the cutter as well.

Thank you for all your quick replies. Can roses me made using a mold? I'm not sure if you could use a mold for gum paste or not. Can you? Or would royal icing work for a rose mold?
Thanks.
Here's a slideshow for gumpaste roses

You can use gumpaste in molds, and there are rose molds but they don't look very realistic compared to roses made petal by petal. I would not use royal icing in a mold.
That is a great slideshow. Thanks for putting it in the thread.
No problem! Thanks to the wonderful person who created the slideshow!
Here is another "how to" make gumpaste roses.

Here is an interesting tutorial by Jeff Arnett on making gumpaste roses the way Rosemary Watson of Sugar Bouquets used to make them. Click on all 3 pages of photos and it will show you how to make them from start to finish.

I have looked at that tutorial on webshots. I went out to find the equipment she had shown. I was looking for the metal cutters. Are those round white circles in the right side of the pic cutters too? I found some cutters but they did not have the squared off end like the metal cutters she showed in the pic. I only saw pointy tip ones. I am very new to this and am confused by this. Help!
always looking for ways to improve my roses, thanks

If you are speaking of the metal circles bent and glued to the cardboard they are just pieces of an aluminum cookie sheet from the baking section of the grocery store. The Rose petal cutter is available, I think either Global Sugar Arts or Nic Lodge carries one. Just use it to draw the pattern on the aluminum, cut out and lay on the sheetcake sized cardboard and hot glue them in place, bend back the sides into a point at the top. The other molds or formers are just plastic picnic spoons with the handles snipped off and they are hot glue gunned as well.
I've just been emailing back and forth ths morning with Jeff Arnett, he is the one who did ths tutorial on the roses and also the upsidedown icing technique. He and I are trying to remember where his tutorial is posted for the Faux Fondant buttercream method. He tells me that with an electric turntable and the tool he devised for this method he can perfectly ice a 16" cake in 5 minutes in the Faux Fondant method. I told him he was just bragging!
