Where do most people buy their colors? I havent found any better than the ones at the web page called CAKEMOLDINGS (and cheaper for that matter) but was thinking of trying something new.

@MsAsmalik yes edible colours, edible flower, except for the wire of course. isn't it amazing

[jbjetzay]

thanx i learn alot on your video's...but can you also use a non toxic chalk and just simply scrape it?

[WeAreNinja1]

im going to try and make some flowers : D thank you for your videos

[AquaRibbon]

Haha, um, so what is Petal Dust again?

[GazeRock12094]

it's kind of like make-up for your designs, it allows you to make the designs more realistic

[AquaRibbon]

No no, I know what it's used for, what I meant is what IS it? Like what's it made of?

[zwee]

Basically: it's chalk. Coloured chalk.

[leesy677]

this is done when the flowers are dry right?

[zwee]

Yes.

If the gum paste is still damp, you might get streaks of colour when you meant to just get a subtle dusting.

[jaspZam]

That is a great way to show attention to detail. Thanks for the vid.

[marilinsu]

[audres2390]

In the end of the video, you say something about steaming the dust to seal the colours....how is this done? Thank you for your wonderful tutorials!

[csianis]

rewind the clip back to 1:52 and it tells you how to steam it.

Hello. I'm really new at this and would like to ask a few questions if you don't mind. What is the difference between luster dust and petal dust? And what are the advantages and disadvantages of both? Also, what would look better in gum paste flowers? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[xdevilxbabex2003]

Petal dust is a flat matt colour. It is not Shiny or sparkley.

Luster dust has a shiny glistening look.

petal dusts are very good for adding colour to make your gum paste flowers look more realistic.

Gum Paste on it's own is edible, although not tasty! When making flowers, the use of wire makes them non-edible! But if you wouldn't eat a Picasso why would you eat the flowers? They are still art!

[NikkiDoc74]

Gum paste is hard. It is edible, as in food safe, but it is of a taste and texture that is not something you would want to eat. Fondant is softer and chewy, but again, most people don't eat that either.

[mandyajel]

there are certain types out there i think when you make simple flowers that dnt have shades on like roses mini roses like errm marzipan. i think...

[Adwood123]

Is this edible, say when you put it on a cake?

[xdevilxbabex2003]

Yes its edible, Although gumpaste is used mainly for decorations. You can eat it but once it is dry it is very very hard and doesnt taste too good.

[artbydevon7273]

Hi, Is gum paste the same as fondant? Please respond. Thank-you

[rasberrylime]

no its not the same

[artbydevon7273]

Thanks for your help.Take care
