I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to put gumpaste leaves with my flowers on the cake. My question is how do you make the leaves so that they fit without putting them directly onto the flower to dry?  Don't they look odd just sticking out from behind the flower if you haven't built the leaf onto the flower originally? Or am I missing something ?

  Thanks once again! 

You do a lot of wrapping with floral tape, then attach where you please and bend around to put in positions that you  like.  if you don't like it, just untape it and try again.  

Are those gumpaste?

i definitely want to make them with gumpaste. 

commercial gumpaste was used for these.  Here is the link to the Forum thread that started me on my journey..............  http://www.cakecentral.com/forum/t/779172/need-feedback-plz-1st-gumpaste-leaves-with-wires

.... and if you get the flower bug start looking into the Craftsy flower tutorials, youtube, & the books that are available.

Those look AMAZING!!

thank you!!

I agree they look amazing, very realistic! May I ask what veiner you use?
