Did you add gumtex to your MMF or anything to make your petals so thin?
Your roses on your Welcome Home Cake are beautiful!
Thank you! No I haven't ventured into the world of gum-tex just yet. Still trying to figure that out.
My roses on that cake are just MMF.
Holy Moly! I don't think I can get away with not using gumtex. I live in the south and it is still hot. We are hoping for a cold snap at a nice whopping 60 degrees.
I made my mmf roses and my petals had to be thicker and I could not get my fondant to hold shape if it was 1/16 in.
I have not tried gumtex in the mmf but from what I read it is necessary. I was going to make a bow but am not until I get the gumtex.
MMF is just so cheap and there is alot that can be done with it.
My compliments to you.
I forgot...did you use the Wilton cutters for your roses or did you use the individual petal shaping method?
I used the wilton rose cutters for those roses. In my photos there is a gumpaste arrangement on my Wilton III final cake that one is done with the individual cutters.
Also the blue and white cake is MMF with a MMF bow-again MMF only no gum-tex.
I am just learning and have ALOT left to learn, maybe I will try it with gum-tex soon.
Daniela, Nope! Just MMF. After doing those I kinda taught myself gumpaste, it is much easier. I just did the MMF ones one layer at a time, that way I can place them in styrofoam upside down and the petals don't droop. I am working on some MMF ones now that I am trying to paint gold with luster dust. This teaching yourself thing is hard! Thank Goodness for this site!!!
I know I'm on the same boat you're on!! I've been teaching myself for the time being because classes are just impossible right now!!! I have some left over MMF, maybe I should try making stuff with it. Does it dry stiff or is it moist when it dries (the MMF)
I haven't tried gumpaste yet.............. which recipe do you use for it??
I ask too many questions 
Thanks for helping me out. It's very much appreciated
I took all 3 Wilton classes, and don't get me wrong it did help, but I had two different teachers and they both could have learned ALOT here!!
When the MMF is dry- it is hard as a rock! I have 2 roses left from that cake I put in a tupperware container and I keep checking on them to see how long they will hold-so far so good and it has been since July!
A few suggestions- do all the centers 24 hrs ahead, use water to attach, and place in a styrofoam block upside down for a while to dry then right side up in a reese cup paper(don't know the correct term) that keeps the sides up.
