Basic Gumpaste/fondant Flower Question
Decorating By Queento2 Updated 19 Apr 2011 , 2:48pm by Unlimited
I've been putting it off for awhile now, cause i'm so intimidated, but I want to make my first gumpaste/fondant flower. What is the easiest/simplest flower to make that I can try? I tried making a BC flower once(fail!!!). I found out that the consistency needs to be just right for those. But, I think a fondant/gumpaste one would be easier if I could get the technique down. So any tips and suggestions would be great.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making gumpaste flowers. There are a bunch of good tutorials here

Also, youtube.com is hugely beneficial. The first one I made was an anemone.

Also simple (with no real special cutters needed, just the basic wilton gumpaste kit) are daisies:

HTH. Have fun playing around!!

I think the easiest/simplest fondant flower has to be the ribbon rose:

If you want to try making buttercream roses again, I think it's easier and faster to make on a stick rather than a rose nail.
Have fun!
