Hi . Many Thks for ur lovely demo ! I have this rose cutter whc I have never tried since I bought them itwelve yrs ago . After watching ur video I'l try them this wkend ! At least I have something to put on top of my birthday cake ! !!
I JUST found your channel today and I am so upset that you're no longer making videos. You explain things so well and make it in a way that anyone can understand and build their confidence. I am new to baking and have always wanted to bake but never felt ai had the ability but you have given me the confidence and I cannot even begin to explain to you what that means to me!!!!!! I wish you well in whatever you do but PLEASE know this lady misses your lessons so very much. I wish you much health and happiness. May God bless you.
Thank you So much Wendy. Unfortunately, covid forced me to close my warehouse and video studio. I am still looking for a place to create more video's but it has been very difficult to find locations and people to video and edit my classes.
What a wonderful tutorial! I've always done buttercream flowers, but I'm trying out gum paste and finding it WAY easier to work with. Especially since it can be done much more in advance. Thank you very much for the thorough walk through!
wow! i wish i would have tried your tutorial first! i was able to make a stunning rose the first time after watching this video :D Thank you so much for sharing your talent and for being so detailed! xx
Great tutorial. I have both type of cutters. I am just learning though. I will be watching how to you make them by hanging them upside down..great tutorial. Thumbs UP! thank you!
GlobalSugarArt Hello Chef Alan..I was a fan of you. Thank you for your all tutorial.. iam very impressed and appreciate of all tips you have given ..thank you very much!!!
Absolutely you can use only gumpaste. The only reason I use a mix of fondant and gumpaste is to make it easier for beginners. It gives you more time to "play" without the product drying out.
Awesome.... Chef.... always loved ur tutorials... you explain very well.... so clear to understand... thank you so so much..... all the way from SRI LANKA..
I would like to say thank you for your clear tutorials , you gave me the confidence to make two wedding cakes within this last year for two of my children, last one being in January , I have been asked now by other guests if I would make theirs! One being a beach cake, a new challenge. I'm hoping I may find your advice on edible sands and sea horses. Kind Regards,
Thanks, will look into that, have been trying out making shells, quite pleased with results, after watching closely how you work with everything, and the sugar is a very good idea for the sand, so will create a scaled down cake to see results! thanks again for you reply ! Les
Would like to say that I love all your tutorials because you make them seem so easy to do and you use the most basic tools or at least the ones we buy in the Wilton classes. Cudos to the rose tutorial. I've learned a lot. Question: do you have to mix fondant and gum paste in order to make the flowers or can you just use colored gum paste and call it a day?
Great video footage I wish you were next to me in the next few days to help me make my wedding cake you make it look so easy iv got 2 weeks to be perfect like you
So would it work to use a chocolate kiss as the center of your rose?? When doing single pedal roses you could use a decorating tip to cut your circles. I’ve done this when making fondant roses.
Thank you Chef Alan for sharing your wonderful talent with us. I'd like to ask how are these roses without wires can be stacked on fondant cakes specially if we want to put on the edges or sides without worrying it would fall out of place?
Please look at this video on how to make a wired rose. ruclips.net/video/YaWsoRepDV8/видео.html You would use a wired rose for floral sprays and to place on the sides of a cake.
+GlobalSugarArt - I have made many sugar flowers from gum paste but I find roses to be the most difficult ONLY because the edges get so thin and just touching them a tiny bit after they are dry makes little pieces chip off. I just followed this specific tutorial using the 5 petal GEM set and cel buds bought from your store. They are looking so great! But for a few things: I am having trouble coloring the gum paste a very deep purple using petal dust. I can't seem to get it to go dark enough and I don't want to use too much dust to find out if it's possible. The other problem I have is I think I'm not rolling it thin enough but it's still working okay. Then lastly is the problem with the thinned out edges and bending them/curling them over and then when dry they easily chip. Is there a solution to that? Will steaming them make them less brittle? Will adding some shortening help (I know it's something that can be done with fondant that's too dry)? THANKS!!! I love your tutorials and products!
Hi Ruth. I think the petal dust is your problem. It takes a lot of petal dust to color gumpaste and it may be drying it out too much and making it brittle when it dries. Instead of petal dust, use Fondust powdered food coloring or gel colors. This should solve your problem. And yes, you can add a small amount of shortening when kneading your color in the paste. This is especially helpful when working with blue and green colors as they tend to dry the paste even more than other colors.
Yes, those are plastic practice boards that Wilton used to sell. You can cut the edge of a plastic paper sleeve that you use in a binder and it works just as well.
i am not being funny but what the hell is gum paste ?? is it American ready roll coloured icing ?? I have been making roses for years and i have never used any fancy pastes or left the middle overnight either.i don't use fancy petal cutters either i just keep different plastic size lids from plastic bottles and containers without paying for cutters as it costs nothing especially if you are on a budget
Gumpaste is a sugar dough that has a gum additive that allows the dough to dry hard. The gum also makes the dough very smooth and stretchy so that it can be rolled very thin and the petals can have smooth and thin edges. It is not an American creation. It has been used for over 100 years in the baking business all over the world and is sometimes called flower paste.

Hi! Alan you are really professional. And you are excellent teacher.
Thank you so much!
thanks great tutorial, I liked learning about the 2nd flower cutter to make the rose, will try it out myself.
I would like to say thank you for your clear tutorials , you gave me the confidence to make two wedding cakes within this last year for two of my children, last one being in January , I have been asked now by other guests if I would make theirs!

lesley double you can use brown sugar as sand
Thanks for replying .
We have beautiful molds to make seahorses. Brown sugar or course sugar works great for sand.
Thanks, will look into that, have been trying out making shells, quite pleased with results, after watching closely how you work with everything, and the sugar is a very good idea for the sand, so will create a scaled down cake to see results! thanks again for you reply ! Les
Brilliant tutorial thank you
I have little interest in cake decorating but this demo was very good. Clear, little repetition and a good result.
Thanks again for another of your great tutorials!!

I'd love to see a crystal rose :-) xx
Having trouble finding the products you recommend. I've been to your sight and Amazon.
Thank u sir.
How would you store these if you made them 6 weeks in advance please? You're amazing! xxx
Airtight container with some kind of pillow or other softner, so they don't break
awesome!
Great tutorial! Can I use a gum paste center and still use the one piece rose cutter to make it all edible?
Thank you so much
Thank you!
Fabulous, thanks.
Thanks very much!!
New subscriber here, love ur videos. Planning to make my own wedding cake. THANK U
l . Que bonita flor yo soy de monterrey, n.l. mex
Very nice
Great tutorial, thanks for putting it on!
Just one question, instead of gumpaste, can I add CMC to fondant and use that?
Yes, one teaspoon of CMC or Tylose per pound of fondant works great.
+GlobalSugarArt Hi
Chef Alan, great video, as always. Please how can I determine a pound of fondant? Thank you sir.
Where can I buy the foam pad you used here? Thank you, great tutorials.
Very nice and easy to do... Roughly around what price can you do on each rose, or a dozen of them??? Thanx :)
Check with your local bakeries or cake decorators. Pricing of any cakes and flowers varies widely from country to country and region to region.
Nice

what luck, I bought the JEM cutter just yesterday!
Please could someone tell me what the gumpaste was in, it was all ready rolled out
Yes, those are plastic practice boards that Wilton used to sell. You can cut the edge of a plastic paper sleeve that you use in a binder and it works just as well.
Where can u buy tylose powder??? Please someone answer
All the products I use on these video's, including Tylose, can be purchased online on our website at GlobalSugarArt dot com.
