This book is only $7.99 - don't know about shipping though. http://www.shopbakersnook.com/m5_view_item.html?m5:item=2745

Here is a tutorial using a 5-petal cutter. http://www.toppartyideas.com/hibiscus-sugarpaste-flowers/

I took a class from Nicholas Lodge and we used individual wired petals and made a large blossom. The 5-petal cutter method looks like it would be a good way to start. I would probably cut in quite a ways to make the petals.

There is also a thread on CC somewhere that talks about cutting individual petals from the 5-petal piece. Use a calyx cutter in the middle of your 5-petal piece of gumpaste. I don't know if you can picture it, but it cuts out five individual petals. I'll see if I can find the thread ....

HTH.

I use the 5 petal rose cutter. Works like a charm. Just make a separate stamen and attach to the center when it's dry. I dust the center of the flower with petal or pearl dust too.

I have not made large hibiscus yet, but I recently made little flowers using this veiner: http://tiny.cc/lVVHB

I made separate stamens and then dots of yellow RI.
