Oh wow. I thought it would turn out bulky but it turned out amazingly great!

Wow! That was amazing to watch.

I'm just curious...do they cut that big blob off on the bottom? Really interesting to watch. This is probably how it was done in the very beginning before someone got the idea to make cutters, tools, etc. That person is very rich and no longer has to make GP flowers! lol
Thanks for the cool post!

kids & i are playing w/ play doh and i'm trying as i watch. it's really easy & my first pass w/ the doh came out rather good. Huh, who would have thought it could be so easy? give it a try!

Very good indeed! I'm definitely gonna give this a try. I'm not surprized there is this method to making flowers since the local cake shop lady told me that the class she teaches she doesn't use cutters for lilies etc.. i can't wait to take the class in the fall. It's nice not to have to drop big bucks to make these flowers.

I used to make roses out of clay like that when I was a kid...

I thought his next video was even way cooler where he does the carnation with no tools! Very cool!

I love the scrolling trivia at the end...

"Wedding cakes date back to Roman times.
Romans would bake a cake. And the groom
would break it over the head of his bride!
- as a symbol of her fertility."
