I am making a cake with roses and calle lilies. My question is do you usually use gumpaste or half gumpaste and half fondant?? Any help would be appreciated.

I make my flowers with straight gumpaste.

I always use a combination of gumpaste and fondant. It's not exactly 50/50 but its around there.

I use only gumpaste - but it dries faster, so you have to work fairly quickly. Also - I don't use Wilton gumpaste!

i do straight gumpaste - i find it easier to work with, easier to thin and curl and stuff. and because its easier to thin, more realistic too. but really, unless you are going for top level competitions, you can do a 50/50 mix, it comes down to what you like using.

I prefer gumpaste for the same reasons as everyone else. I only use fondant in a pinch.

I did a calla lily cake (in my pix) and used a 50/50 gumpaste/fondant mixture there.
