Beautiful roses. Great job! It's hard to believe that this is your first try!!

your rose is beautiful-
thanks for inspiring me!

Cakesonly, the gumpaste needs to be thin enough to read through

Sisita, I used CK gumpaste mix. It was only $2 or so. I just followed the instructions and just added 2 TBSP of Tylose. Then I when I'm about ready to use the gumpaste, I take a little and I knead fixodent in it.

Momkiksbutt, I heard you can use the fixodent as a tylose replacement. I heard fixodent is the same thing, but it has that mint smell. I haven't bought the wilton one. I just use the CK gumpaste. I think I can find some around here in Hawaii, but I haven't gone to Excutive Chef yet to look.

Thanks to everyone for their compliments!

Wow! First time? Keep going....let's see more! You've got the knack.

So glad to see all my tips helped you & you made such a lovely rose. There are so many different ways to make roses & they are all beautiful.

Thank you to everyone for your compliments.

Definitely a HUGE thank you to superstar! You really helped me with making the gumpaste. It's been raining and humid and the gumpaste is hard like rock! The tips on using both tylose and fixodent is the best! Much mahalo!

You're so welcome, happy to help anytime.

You're so welcome, happy to help anytime.

I can't believe that was your first try! It looks so real! You did such a great job. I can't wait to see what you do next! How long did it take you to make it? I hope I can get that good some day!

Actually it takes about 15-20 minutes to make one rose. I could have made at least 2 or 3 of them during that time, but I just wanted to try one.

I used a pasta machine to roll out the dough, so that was pretty quick. Then I used the cutters, then started to make them. The last 2 layers takes awhile, because you want them to harded just a little to help them hold their shape. So for that, it took about 10 minutes, but it was a pretty quick to make it. It's the drying time that's probably the longest part.

I too have to add how beautiful your rose is Also thanks for the scan do you know how they made the formers? was there a pattern then cut out of soda cans??

Leilani,
Your rose is beautiful and real looking! We have a hot and humid climate here in P.Rico as well. I'll also appreciate it if you decide to post your gumpaste recipe that SEAQUEEN asked as well.
Lucky you to own those Rosemary Watson's videos.

It took me so much time to write that I couldn't see you had already written that you use CKGumpaste and the tylose you add to it.Thanks anyway.
Forgot to add that you have a lovely name.

Erlyns_Treats thank you very much for the compliment.

The former is just spoons and the foil pans. You just cut the foil pans to a shape of a petal.

Amazing and so inspiring! Can't wait to see more!
