WOW! I love using gumpaste to create life-like flowers. Did you use luster dust or some other material for the coloring of the petals? And are the leaves made of gumpaste, too?http://cakesdecor.com/cakes/25384#

I did use an orange and hot pink lustre dust for the leaves. The leaves are also made from gumpaste. I’ll probably buy a leaf mold next time, but this time I went out into my garden, grabbed a few leaves off my rose bushes and pressed the backsides into the gumpaste. I then used my leaf cutter to cut the imprinted gumpaste out. Smoothed/thinned the edges and added a few different green dusts to those.
