Potpourri of Flowers Book

I've been looking for a fondant/gumpaste flower book. One that has good instructions and pictures that would help me learn to make a variety of flowers. I was searching and came across this title.

If anyone has this book would you please tell me if you like it Or does anyone have another book that they like better?

I don't have that one, but I like the Sugar Roses for Cakes and Sugar Orchids for Cakes books. There are also a bunch by Nicholas Lodge that are good, one is called something like Sugar Flowers from around the World.

If you do a search on Amazon you should be able to find them.

I need to learn how to do more flowers too.

If you are talking about Nic Lodge's book, I have it. It is very good - has detailed instructions on 15 flowers along with some templates and veiner information. Well worth the price I am a visual learner, though, so hands-on classes were necessary to get me to the point that I could read and follow instructions

Thanks for the info

R these strictly about one rose/orchid or shows you how to make several?

They're specifically about different types of roses and orchids, but there are a few other flowers in there, too.

Alan Dunn books are good too in fact i just had one arrive today called:
Wedding Cakes and Sprays has a few different flowers and types in it very self explanitory... otherwise your other option is to pick flowers from nature and study them..... pull them apart and make templates from them and write yourself little notes along with pics... that is how i have learnt a few of mine.nothing like using the real thing to learn from.

good luck

yes I see a lot of books by Dunn on amazon. For one reason or another I really like to read and learn from books. Its my way I guess.
