I am looking for directions on how to make cattleya gumpaste orchids. I have Cynthia Venns book which has directions for two orchids but not Cattleya, and the Wilton gum paste book but it just says orchid. I have posted this under general questions also. Thank you for your help.

Are you thinking of calla lilies? If so I know a member here, goal4me, has offered to teach me how to make them but I keep forgetting to pm her back. YOu might try sending her a pm and see what she has to say!

oooohhh,that's really pretty! Thanks Nati! Learn something new everyday!

i have the instructions i got with my cutters but i dont have a scanner.....sorry..... wish i could help...maybe i can try to take a picture of the instructions and get them onto the computer. i will attempt that for you tomorrow.

Hi Nati,

I got the exact cutters but sadly they did not come with any instructions. Any help, tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I did some a few weeks ago for my niece's wedding. I just found the i nstuctions on Utube. Type in Gumpaste orchids and all types of videos pop up. I used the cutter in the Wilton set. I used the orange cutters and i was very happy with them. I did them all on wires.

Try it
