I really want to learn how to make gumpaste flowers but in the caribbean we don’t have a facility that teaches it. Does anyone know of an online source where i can learn for free?

I love cake decorating. I love using new and improve ideas and techniques when decorating a cake.Therefore i will love to learn how to make gumpaste flowers.
and I’ve only learned a couple of flowers, but I’m excited to have gotten started. There is a class to learn buttercream embossing and you make a huge gumpaste bow topper (which is what I want to learn for the wedding cake I’m making), so maybe I can take that next!
I’m VERY excited about this because…
- I LOVE daisies; they’re one of my favorite flowers
- I SUCK at making royal icing daisies
- I think I actually have a chance at making good gumpaste daisies
- You can make gumpaste flowers way in advance, which is SO helpful!!
I am starting my fondant and gumpaste class at Michaels tomorrow. I really want to get into the flowers too though. I am planning to go into business soon and the sales are in creativity.
I’m off to class now!
Although, technically I’m not all that exicted about today’s class, because we’re going to be working only with fondant and not making any flowers either! I wanna make flowers with gumpaste!! Must be patient….soon, very soon…...
I signed up for the class and bought my kit on Thursday. Class starts next Tuesday, so I’m on my way!! Whoo hoo!
at Michael’s. It starts next month, but if I take it I think I’ll wait until March, because that month is the special promotion “buy the kit, get the class free.” That’ll save me $30. Hopefully I can learn gumpaste bows too, because I might be making a wedding cake with bows, and I can do fondant, but I don’t like it, and all the gumpaste bows I’ve seen are much prettier and more realistic.
I’m excited!
