Hi Deb, thanks a lot. I’m self taught as well like you. Wow you have beautiful cakes ;) I started only last year so have a lot of learning to do ;) I’m new to this page as well and I am enjoying.
Well for the flower, I did use the rose cutter of different sizes. For each rose, I overlap each petal and slightly turn each petal also just to have a different look ;). Then I placed it on top of each other and place it in a small bowl to dry. The bowl has flour on it so not to stick. I hope I made sense.
Take care
