Hello everyone!
I recently entered the sugarcraft world and started my own small business with my sister
I really would like to know what is the best thing to make roses with? those big beautiful real life roses. Should i use gum-trex, cmc, flower paste? im very confused. Also the best site from where i can order it..
Take care.
love

I use a mixture of fondant (I make my own marshmallow fondant) and Wilton gumpaste. Have had good luck with that.

Please to go this website. She has wonderful tutorials ,etc. Also when i make rose or any large flowers, I use either nick lodges recipe or wiltons premade g/p. I want all the strength for large g/p flowers. I sometimes mix the two. hth
Many tutorials listed on this site under forums.

Thank you so much great help i will defintely check these links..

Is wilton gum-tex good enough for figures too?

You can go to michelle's blog for the tutorials. InspiredbyMichelle Blog.com

Edna de la Cruz also has some great tutorials for roses. If you want to take a look, it's at http://designmeacake.com/tutorials.html

I really like using Nick Lodge's gum paste for all my flowers. With it I find I can achieve really thin petals. I keep it in the refrigerator and store several bags in the freezer. You do have to work quickly with it, however, for it dries rapidly. A little fondant mixed in would extend your working time.

Good luck with your venture.
