Gumpaste Paintings 101

[horizonwolf1]

could you do a flower bouquet with star gazer lilys and orchids?

I'd love to see you do something amazing like that

[tonedna1]

@horizonwolf1 You can use anything you want for a buoquet. It might need some fillers to bringe them together

[josephc100279]

Hi there I want to know wat the difference between fondant n gum paste? Thnx

[tonedna1]

@josephc100279 Fondant is for decorating the cake, the gumpaste is more for delicate decorations

[monicag37]

Hi Edna, one question: can we use the sparkle dust inside the fondant/gumpaste for a luster look? if not, we can be used to give the fondant/gumpaste a luster finish?

Thanks for all your free infos love you lots. I'm learning alot from you!

[tonedna1]

@monicag37 You can apply it with a brush. But there are aibrush colors for this too

[septembermami]

Edna I love, love, love your techniques, I tried the pistachio cake that I found on your site for my sister's wedding and it was sooo good! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts! Oh yeah and when you stated you don't use mm fondant I tried the other and I know why,it's all I use.

[tonedna1]

@septembermami Im glad you liked it!

[Justssaying]

OMG! im stating to think people actually get paid to dislike a video! no reason why somebody would dislike it, honestly...Get a Life!

[tonedna1]

@Justssaying Sometimes I think they press by mistake...lol Or Maybe it's people that don't work with sugar. Or simly people that don't like me..Go figures. Thanks for the complements ;)

[Justssaying]

[MsGnorts]

Beautiful Edna:-) How do you apply these dusts? With water, alcohol (liquor)or what or just as they come in the containers?

[tonedna1]

@MsGnorts It depends what I am doing, sometimes dry, sometimes with vodka or lemon extract.

[MsGnorts]

What tone of green is the petal dust in the video Edna?

[tonedna1]

@MsGnorts I useally use moss green

[MsGnorts]

Edna, hello! I have a question: could you please tell me the difference between Petal dust, Luster dust, sparkle dust and Pearl dust! So many dusts! l0l

Can they all be used at once to create highlights in flowers or how is it used?

[MsGnorts]

@MsGnorts You better watch the video first and then ask question MsGnorts! l0l

I'll watch the video first and then...later ask question Edna. l0l

[ratonroy]

Hola Edna, antes que cualquier otra cosa quiero agradecerte por esta motivacion para personas que como yo necesitamos un empleo y por medio de tus clases puedo aprender como ganarme la vida.

Quisiera preguntarte como consigo aca en México el Tylose? o con que otro nombre puedo pedirlo?

Muchas gracias y recibe un beso enorme desde México.

[tonedna1]

@ratonroy  No se donde lo puedas conseguir alla en Mexico. Tylose es el unico nombre. No se si se te haga facil por el internet. Yo lo vendo, pero es internacional.

[meggonzalez]

[tonedna1]

La manteca emulsificada es de mejor calidad que crisco. Se le conoce tambien como high ratio.

[dynamomelano]

can i make my own petal dust from chalk and water? or chalk and oil? will the oil damage the gum paste? i am trying to make gelatin gum paste

[tonedna1]

You can use non toxic chalks. I never used those with vodka so I dont know how they react, but for my regular dusts I use vodka. Usually when use the chalks, I use them dry.

Edna

[LiLMsRocker09]

THANKYOU!!! haha :) my favorite flower!!

[HELENADAS]

hi edna,for got to ask you could you this dust for the gumpaste that is covering the cake and if its edible...thanks and you are a real talent.

[HELENADAS]

besides gumpaste do you have dark and white choc modelling recipe...thanks

[tonedna1]

I have a recipe in my website call candy clay. The dust can be use on gumpaste no problem and is edible as long as the one you buy is edible.

Edna :)

[tamisdollsndreams]

Hi Edna, I love your videos, just ordered your latest video with paypal.

I have a question , I can't seem to find the metal ball tool you use in the rose petal video, I ordered one but it seems really small compared to the one you are using? Any suggestions where I can order one?

thanks so much,

hugs from Colorado...

Tami

[tonedna1]

I just added the ball tool in my website..Is very difficult to find!..So I decided to search for it. Is under gumpaste tools.

Edna :)

[tamisdollsndreams]

[tamisdollsndreams]

[GroundedbyFaith]

I am so excited about this DVD.... I am definitely going to order this one...Thanks for the explanation on the differences between the DUST, I have been using Pearl dust not quite getting the right colors....Now I know why.

[tonedna1]

I totally know what you are feeling. Nobody explains the color difference. I had to figure this out myself!...Im glad it helped!

Edna :)

[tonedna1]

Yeah!..I check yesterday and It says that its already on it's way to you!..Let me know how it goes!!

Edna :)
