For the second time in my life, I am attempting gumpaste roses. I have the tools from the ACD article a few years back, and the Wilton shortcut rose kit.
It's so tempting to just purchase them, which I've done for years. These are for my DD's Sweet 16 and I need a lot of them, so I'm going to try my hand at it again. And it's time to expand my repertoire.
Does anyone have ANY tips or links to tutorials, aticles, information, etc, that they could share?
I am most grateful!
I always think this is a nice little tutorial for gumpaste flowers, if you have the tools you need to make them.

It is very time consuming to make a ton of flowers yourself. It is at least for me, I am not very fast. I kind of do the math and see if my time is worth more then it would cost for me to purchas them. I work full time outside of cake decorating, so a little help is great.
Thank you for the site! Very nice! I just rummaged through all of my cake decorating stuff and I have all of the tools. I actually have the Wilton GP flowers kit and the tool set. I just need to get a new book. Can't find it anywhere.
I usually purchase gumpaste flowers, because the first try took so long, and I've always worked or gone to school. But I figure the only way I'm going to make them faster is if I start practicing. By making a large quanitity of the same flower, that should do it!
