The Notter School of Pastry Arts is in Orlando and they have 2 classes coming up in November:

Beginner Gum Paste Flowers and Advanced Gum Paste Flowers

The instructor, Sue McMahon, is from England and is internationally renowned for her gum paste flowers.

If I worked and lived in the area, I'd consider this a great opportunity.

In the greater Detroit area, Dianne Gruenberg teaches gum paste flowers using the "original soft method"--different from the Wilton method, but it produces wonderful flowers. She's delightful and a great teacher.

She owns Avenues Wedding Choices Etc., Inc., Saginaw, Bay City, Midland, 989-667-4511 and she's in the process of opening a cake decorating school. I believe that she does lessons all over the country.

I'm sure if you give her/her shop a call, she can give you all kinds of info.

I don't know of anyone right in Sacramento--I'm familiar with a few in the San Diego area.

Perhaps if you contact the CA Cake Club, they could recommend someone.

You couldn't find a much better gumpaste flower person than Sue McMahon, she does such amazing flowers. Her gumpaste roses dipped in airbtush color and vodka are so life like, or nature like.
