I cant find a video, but in my Wilton gumpaste flower book there are directions. It comes with the gumpaste flower kit, maybe they might have the separate directions on their website.

I agree that the dianasdecoratingdiary tutorial is superb thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif . I've used the Wilton fondant/gumpaste flower instructions and didn't like the results at all thumbsdown.gif . The same goes for their carnation thumbsdown.gif and rose thumbsdown.gif instructions, by the way. I actually bought a pot of tulips to copy flowers for two cakes from, but they would've been a lot prettier if I'd seen the tutorial before I made them. I have a couple of "thank-you" cakes coming up this week and I think I'll decorate them with tulips following this tutorial icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif .

Glad you found the instructions easy to follow. I did the tutorial, and the spoons make all the difference I think.

What other flowers are you interested in?

just about any i'd like to know how to do the carnation, a daffodil would be cool. can you help me with my butter cream, i can do the leaf but i can't get the tip at the end, when i pull it away the tip doesn't come out pointed but the sides of the end do. can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. Thanks so much. Diane
