Easy 5 petal Rose Cutter?? Goto page 1, 2, 3  Next      CakeCentral.com Forum Index » Cake Decorating Author Message onlymadaresane Regular Member Joined: Aug 08, 2009 Posts: 162 Location: Kansas City, MO Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 10:41 am  I'm liking the 5 petal roses. Easy, different sizes.... I'm thinking of purchasing the JEM easy rose cutters. Anyone have any good/bad things to say?? Any type you prefer over one another?? I'm currently looking at JEM easy rose cutter. They come in a slew of sizes and are labeled for how to assemble (nice for a newbie!) Suggestions?? Where to purchase?

I had bought the Wilton quick rose cutter set before and it doesn't work well at all but the Jem ones do. onlymadaresane Regular Member Joined: Aug 08, 2009 Posts: 162 Location: Kansas City, MO Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 11:49 am  I've used the Wilton quick one as well. It works alright. But I'm definably wanting more in sizes and that step of cutting down the petals again...inevitably I'm cutting too much or not enough! Thanks for the recommendation...I'm thinking it'll be worth it.

It helps if you turn the cutter over while the flower is still in it and then run your finger over the edges, to make them smooth. I have the 110 mm and the 80 mm cutters. I will be buying a few more as my budget allows Here's the difference between them and the Wilton cutter, at least for me: With Wilton cutter: With Jem 110 mm cutter: With Jem 80 mm and 110 mm cutter (bigger one used for outer petals): bobwonderbuns Forum SuperStar!

If you look in my pix at Megan's wedding cake, all the white roses were done with that cutter. nannie Forum Addict Joined: Feb 26, 2005 Posts: 783 Location: evanston, IL Birthday: Oct 01 Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:55 pm  I've really struggled with the 5 petal cutter. I do them on wire and as I run the petals up the wire, the hole gets big and sorta breaks down the center. I feel all thumbs when I'm doing them I have most success with Enda tutorial using the wilton round cutter Texas_Rose Forum Fanatic Joined: Feb 26, 2008 Posts: 4791 Location: San Antonio, TX Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:02 pm  nannie wrote: I've really struggled with the 5 petal cutter.

I feel all thumbs when I'm doing them I have most success with Enda tutorial using the wilton round cutter This is what you need for the 5 petal cutters, a platform made with a styrofoam plate with a hole in the center. Use it like a table to rest the petals on while you're attaching them. There's a really good tutorial on using the 5 petal cutters too http://www.flickr.com/photos/franjmc/2927935625/ you have to scroll down and read through the comments to find it cownsj Forum Addict Joined: Feb 26, 2008 Posts: 641 Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:37 pm  I have been trying to find a cutter to make roses larger than my Wilton cutter makes for ages. Thank you so much for all the info here.

I think they make more realistic roses.....can't figure out how I ended up with both but I always go to the white ones. tonedna Forum SuperStar!
