Love your work i hope one day i can meet you merry Christmas.

[@Savannahcustomcakes]

You are welcome! You can buy the cutters from Flour Confections.

Kutykuty100 glad you found the second video! I prefer to work in gumpaste to make my flowers, because I can roll the paste thinner and it dries stronger. I do think it's all about what works best for you. Thank you for watching!

Glutenbob, the bottle was purchased from a local, independently owned beauty supply shop here in Savannah.

ar11y, we make our own gumpaste. I like Nick Lodge's recipe.

Good evening Minette, this is another fantastic video, thanks for sharing and of course for the time you are investing making the video.I actually have two questions :
1. Do you have a second part for this video? I could not find it.
2. When I work on flowers, i have used Gum paste and fondant, I realized that my final result is that the fondant flowers have a much better looking that my gum paste flowers. Have you had experience something similar or is it just me? Again, many thanks

Angelica, you can find all the tools and cutters I use in my videos at Four Confections.

Great Video!!
I was trying to buy the cutter set on the Flour Confections web site, but I see that the cutters don't have the little cut on each petal as the ones you are using on this video.

[@Savannahcustomcakes]

Hi Nicole Shepherd, Try Global Sugart Art or Nicholas Lodge. Both places should carry them.

[@ginagarcia377]

I will Thank you.

[@ar11y]

What a great tutorial. What brand of gumpaste are you using or do you make your own?

[@Savannahcustomcakes]

I get our stamens from Flour Confections. They have an online store. They are not edible.

[@ginagarcia377]

Thank you I will send them an e-mail and let you know.

[@Savannahcustomcakes]

You can use fondant but the flowers will be very fragile.

[@Savannahcustomcakes]

Hi Gina, Send Flour Confections an email because they do carry my cutters. My cutters have the cut on them. Let me know, if you can't get them and I'll send you a set. Thanks!

[@nikishepherd8085]

I too was wondering where to get a cel pad. The only places that I can find them online are international companies. And not only would that take forever to get them, but they're pretty pricey too after shipping rates are applied. Any suggestions? Thank you so much in advance! :)

[@Savannahcustomcakes]

Hi Gina,
Send me an inquiry through our website as we have some here at the shop. Thanks!

[@1Pinners]
