I just wanted to show you a little sneak peek of my next cake project. I will be using these small gum paste roses for a very special Valentine’s cake this year. But you will have to wait to see the final result.
For those who have asked about a tutorial please see this rose tutorial.
Happy Caking!
Louise

To all of you who asked on how to make the small roses, can I tell that I have added a link to a old rose tutorial. The first 4 steps is what you need to make. The size of the roses is determined by the size of rose petal cutter that you use. I have used the two smallest cutters that I have. I made these on cocktail sticks. I will remove the roses when I am using them.
Jenie: Have you tried http://www.flourconfections.ca/index.html ?
Kristal: I tell that they can be eaten but they are proberly to hard to bite into. We dont eat the decoration much here.
Alessandra: They taste like sugar, but they are not nice to eat though.
Serina Wilson: It could be because of the mmf “working” overnight.
Kelly cullinane: You can make them on cocktail sticks but to place them on CC just place in the frosting or “glue” them on with a little melted choc or royal icing if its on fondant.

Louise,
These are just stunning!!! I have made roses from your tutorial before and they turned out ok…Yours are much better. I was wondering, could I make them on cocktail sticks and then just stick them in cupcakes or how would you make them not on wires. I would really appreciate your advice, thanks again:)

Hi Louise: I tried your marshmallow fondant and was very happy with the result. I also used the butterfly patchwork embosser on it. It looked beautiful but then the next day, I discovered that the impression was kind of faded. Did I do something wrong? I thought I embossed the butterfly design very well — it looked good the first time except the next day.
Your roses look beautiful and can’t wait to see your cake. I love your website. I learn so much from it.

Kristal says:

Louise, they are sooo pretty! Any chance you will be showing us how to make these? The only roses I know how to make are made on wires, but I’d love to know how to make these little roses that you quite often see on cupcakes…I’m sure they’re not made on wires!
