your aren't kidding, JMT those stargazer lilies are breathtaking One more question - they do seem expensive - do you think they are worth the cost? I just hate sitting there making those little cones before I can even get started with the roses.
Are treally a true time saver in your opinion?
JMT do you use them and what do you prefer - the real thing or the fake centers?
I have bought the cones and yes they are made out of stryofoam, but I have ALOT of roses to make for my daughter's wedding cake, and to make the making of the cone process go faster, I bought the blue mold that Nick Lodge uses in his videos, the styrofoam cones are nice, but expensive for me. I love the cone mold. The molds come in three sizes:
small, medium and large.
I have the small and medium cone mold, I hope to get the large soon. For the medium cone mold use the 90 mm size.
What nice about making your own rose centers is you can make the spiral out of the base. Nick Lodge taught us to make a "fish tail" out of the top of the rose center and then wind the two thin "tails" around the base, so the very first part of the rose is done. It's lovely...wish I could explain it better. 
You're right cakepro jmt flowers are beautiful. 
Cakepro you roses look beautiful also. I'll get there one day.
DANG! Long time, no see, JMT!
Glad to see you back!
For all you noobs out there, JMT does incredible gumpaste flowers.
you just gave me the biggest smile. thanks for that!
I've been busy! got married a few months back and still getting settled in!
I only use the cell buds if I have a million to make, to be honest. mostly because I'm not organized enough to remember to order them in time. and I make my own gumpaste so it is fairly cheap. The molds are a real time saver too.
I use the celbuds all the time. Frankly, my centers don't come out the same when I make them, and I'm too lazy to use the mold and let them dry. I order the celbuds a lot at a time, so I always have some.
And I order them from Nicholas Lodge. If you call them, they'll tell you which size buds for your rose cutter!

Well, congratulations! I look forward to seeing your wedding cake photo! (hint hint 
) Did you do it yourself and make a million GP flowers to go on it?
If you can believe it, I really don't have a great picture of the cake!!!
I didn't make the cake - just the gumpaste flowers. all of the decorations are gumpaste except the pumpkin that the topper is resting in. I included a closer shot of the topper too.
