Very clever! Thanks for posting! I've really enjoy watching all your baking video so far! BTW: The music in this video made me miss listening to Third Eye Blind! I'm gonna gonna have to start listening to their songs again :)
I have recently been trying to find alternatives to fondant or gum paste. Laduree uses marzipan sometimes on the outside of cakes-tho it's really only for ones that could mesh with the almond flavor.
I have a friend too who let gum paste dry, and she then put flavoring into boiling water, and steamed the flowers. They took up a bit of the flavor, which is an interesting development.
Everything on a cake should taste wonderful...this really bother me. :)
it took me 3 hrs to brush the color onto 3 of those things and it still only looked ok. i think there is more than one way to make a gumpaste rose, i saw it done 2 different ways and ive done it both ways but one worked more than the other for me.
lol, i mixed some pink gel food coloring directly in and after it dried i used a metallic petal dust and lightly brushed it over. I work in a bakery, and we ordered in some red premade gumpaste flower sprays, and they sent us white instead of red and then just sent 2 different shades of red petal dust,
i just bought this kit a few weeks ago,i already figured out how to do a rose, and my first one was perfect. i got that gumpaste at walmart. and some people think fondant taste nasty, i love it. i think it taste like marshmellows, and sugar lol, but i love working with it. and whats good about it, if you dont like fondant, than peal it off your peice of cake because theres buttercream underneath
YAY! My first rose didn't really look like one...It's the hardest part of decorating for me. I need to commission u to do all my gumpaste flowers. :)
Are u using powdered food coloring to brush on white flowers? or mixing the color directly in?
Yeah-most people don't like fondant at all. You can always incorporate flavoring into the fondant-I put a few tbsps of powered flavoring into the dough as I knead it.(tho-the flavoring has to be the same color as the fondant, or has to
to be tinted white so u don't see flecks of color thru ur fondant.
U can just cut pieces of things(like a strawberries) VERY thin and put them into a dehydrator until it dries-the grind it to a powder. It helps people accept fondant easier.
U can also make ur own marshmallow fondant- People like it more than regular.
You're absolutely amazing!

When I was taking my course my teacher was like, "I wouldn't eat that, but you can make really pretty trinket boxes out of it!"

Thank you so much, Marissa! U are such a kind soul...with a healthy dose of sass thrown in! If u lived near here, I'd send u some cakes! :)
My home based bakery is called 'Tart'-I wanted people to love the confections as well as feel that they are "tart"-- sweet, yet edgy and innovative.
You're "tart"! :)

@snoopypumpkin1 Haha! Thank you :) It's probably best you can't send me anything. Otherwise, I'd be as big as a house! :P
