When making gumpaste flowers, do you color the gumpaste first? or create them in white and then dust them?

My opinion is that you can use either technique with great results. I think the best guide is to look at photos of the flower in its natural state.

Or airbrush them, or paint them with luster dusts....it depends on the type of flower you are doing!

thanks! I was thinking to dust them afterwards, if there were leftovers, I wouldn't be stuck w/ the wrong color! icon_wink.gif tastycakes - i don't have an airbrush - YET! It's on the wish list icon_smile.gif

Once you get one, you'll wonder what you ever did without one!
