Here is a video tutorial on how to make a ribbon rose. As you can see CakeJournal is now on youtube. I am just testing this so please abstract for the poor picture and sound quality 🙂 I would though really love your feedback. Is this something you would like to see more of?
Please visit my tutorial section if you want to learn techniques on how to make other types of gum paste flowers.
Happy Caking!

Hey Louise,
I really liked video it helps to see you do it, but I still like to have it where I can print it, so I can go back to it in my file . I’m very new to this, all the information I can get is great. Thanks for your help it means alot!!!!!
Louise
Emma: it happens when the paste is to thick/dry. Try and make them with 50/50 gum paste & rolled fondant
Emma
Hi Louise,
Great tutorial! I love these little roses! However, mine seem to get a little cracked on top, where it’s been rolled – do you know why this might happen?
Louise
Bridget: Depending on what decorations I am making I use mostly: Rolled fondant and gumpaste.
Bridget
Thanks so much–for all of the information you share! I had wondered, too, what you used (straight fondant or gumpaste), so a little info in the sidebar would be useful.

Hi Louise!
Most creative people are very visual and therefore are visual learners, so videos are great! You are doing great things here :o)

Louise
Thank you. I hope that there will be time to make a new one.

Thanks for the video!! It was very easy to see and understand, Great technique, thanks again!!

Hi Sophie,
I think for this one I use rolled fondant. I usually dont add Tylo powder to ribbon roses. I used a leaf cutter.
Sophie
Hi Louise,
Were these made with just mmf? or did you add anything to make them harder? Also do you use molds for the leaves?
Deb
