How to Make Gumpaste Peonies | Global Sugar Art

[@sctrytek]

Wow...I have watched 20-30 tutorials regarding creating gumpaste peonies, and this is by far the clearest and most instructive. Thank you! You are a very good teacher.

Hi Chef Alan, I am a CPA by training and started cake decorating as a hobby recently. Your tutorials are so detail, very informative and your explanation to a novice cake decorator like me makes it so easy to understand and enjoyable. I do look forward to your videos every spare time I could find. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. Cake decorating can be a relaxing and rewarding hobby for anyone.

[@destineycaudill3544]

I love watching your videos. I'm going to be making my brother and his fiance a cake for their wedding next year. I've been practicing every chance I get to get it just right. Watching your videos help. I've been baking for a while, but I've only been trying to improve upon decorating cakes/cupcakes for a couple of years. I'm getting better each time.

[@melissadilbar732]

So I’ve used this video to make flowers for my sitser’s wedding cake. After 20 flowers I finally realized the fine details in watching the video only about 100 times. This video is by far the best. One thing I did differently was I left the individual petals to dry a bit before applying each layer. That way they stand better and I don’t need to add any pieces of foam eta to keep them from flopping. They are gorgeous from this point on!

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

Yes, that technique works very well. The reason I did not teach that is because gumpaste drys very quickly in dryer climates and VERY slowly in humid climates. This technique would not work for everyone.

[@melissadilbar732]

Yes I learned this the hard way when all 8 of my flowers melted by the morning. Took me about two hours (now starting) to do one. I was devastated. But I think I have hebhang of it. Chef Allan ... front he bottom of my heart. Thank you for your time and generosity.

[@komoriaimi]

A tutorial on Camellias would be fabulous! The ones that have a bud in the center, not yellow and slightly pointy petals. Those are so pretty and uncommon to see tutorials in gumpaste.

So simply done and so pretty. Thanks God I watched your video. Could I make white Penney, or should they be pink

[@Ami131531]

Thank you so much for your video tutorial! You're so generous that you're sharing your knowledge/techniques. What brand of gumpaste that is best to use for flowers that is not sweaty and will dry hard fast? I heard negative feedbacks about Bakels brand but haven't tried that brand yet. Some say they prefered Satin Ice.

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

+Ami131531 My favorite is Choco-Pan gumpaste. It hardens very well and is easy to roll out paper thin.

[@nileekawela8159]

[@tpetchinsky9708]

Love watching you and can you please let me know where you get water pen to do flowers and also what is it called? Thanks

[@cathyepstein8300]

Love love love your peonia, thinking of making them from crepe paper, but need the template for the the petals, any idea where I can find, maybe i should just buy the cutters, thoughts?

[@taniahoyos2010]

I am making peonies for my grandmother's 80th birthday cake and have watched multiple videos. This is one of the clearest and easiest that I've seen. Do you by any chance have a tutorial for an open peony as I would like to include some of those on my cake as well? Thanks again for a great tutorial!

[@kathieb5291]

Does the colouring from the gum paste get into the pasta roller so that it can't be cleaned out and you have to have a dedicated pasta roller for your gum paste rolling? I ask because I have one pasta roller, but i use it for pasta rolling and was just wondering if it can be cleaned after use to use it for both pasta and gum paste.

[@GlobalsugarartFastAndFabulous]

The colored gumpaste does not stain or leave coloring in a stainless steel roller. If you need to clean it, apply a little vegetable fat like Crisco to the rollers then wipe with a paper towel. NEVER put it in water!!!

[@colezy14]

hi there, very easy to follow, thank you. ive never seen a water pen like that would it be an easy thing to find in nz do you think?

[@margreethermaz5836]

Hi Alan : it so enjoyable to watch you. I just asked what is the different between fondant and gumpaste .thank you .

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

Gumpaste is similar to fondant but has gum additives that cause it to dry very hard. It is used for flowers and decorations. Fondant does not dry to a hard consistency and is used to cover cakes.

[@Iresha74]

Can we use gumpaste icing ball instead of spyrofoam ball ?? Pls advise me.

[@rosannalibanezasosa4895]

Hello Chef Alan, thanks so much for your many tutorials. They have helped me in my calendar business and teaching to cake students. I just want to implore you to kindly do a tutorial on the following: 1. Tulips 2. Anemone 3. Orchids 4. Confectionery Sugar Lace 5. Baroque Cake styles and design 6. Damask 7. Cascading sugar flowers on a tiered cake or floating tiers filed with sugar flowers. Thanks and God bless.

[@jbot223]

Chef, could I use gum paste glue as well? What's the difference between us on a water pen and glue? I have my first big wedding cake coming up in September she wants gum paste flowers with buttercream any tips on how to secure the flowers? Thank you kindly, Julia

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

Julia Vinkavich Yes, gum glue works well. I find that it takes longer to dry and you may have to wait longer between layers of petals so that the first layer does not come off when adding a second layer.

[@jamesrobertson1313]

@global sugar art can i color pre-made gumpaste to make it pink?

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

Certainly, you can color any white gumpaste. I recommend using a good gel food coloring.

[@Xoug777]

Lovely tutorial thank you very much

[@josephineogunlana2226]

I love this man classes. Sir please where will find ourselves, we do not ave access to the gum paste you recommend. what recipe will you recommend if all we are left out with is to make our own paste best use for making flowers. Thank you

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

Here is a link to my recipe page. The homemade gumpaste using Tylose is the best! www.globalsugarart.com/inspirations/recipe-tutorials/icing-gumpaste-mexican-paste-recipes.html

[@SalidaRedDragon]

Chef Alan, I have learned so much about sugarpaste flower making from you. Thank you so much. My question is about your flower drying rack. I have searched GlobalSugarArt.com from end to end. I cannot find one like yours. Where did it come from, please? It is perfect for drying multiple flowers in all stages of development. I love how you can have centers drying on one level, half a flower or petals on another, & completed flowers on yet another level. The parts & completed flowers all have their own space, & nothing gets in the way. It also, from what I can tell, folds up when not in use. Thank you for your help. Pheesao.

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

That drying rack is a pasta drying rack made by the company Martellato in Italy. I added the plastic tubing on each bar to increase the diameter of the bars and to create a more secure grip for the wires.

[@safinanaz9311]

Sir I need to ask if I don’t have drying rack. Than How should I dry these flower

[@TheNailishRoom]

Its beautiful :) Just a question..why are you not using gumpaste ball for the middle?

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

You certainly can use a gumpaste ball for the center but the flower would be very heavy and difficult to arrange. Also, a ball of gumpaste that size would require several days or weeks to thoroughly dry.

[@TheNailishRoom]

Ah, I see...thank you :)

[@reginapereira3885]

Bellissimo!

[@karit3619]

Soo is a beaitifull cake

[@deekshapathak4831]

By watching your videos I am learning to do gumpaste flowers and during summer they dried nicely became crisp and I kept them in a box for further use. But just one cloudy day, and they became soft and broke..... 😢😢how to preserve and protect them from moisture and humidity

[@Bianca-Bibistaarten]

Thank you very much for this great tutorial. I want to know were to buy the flower rack of professional quality. I have a total plastic one, which cannot be used with these big flowers without falling down. I will not use that thing, it destroyed many flowers😏 Please let me know 😊 Greeting from Holland 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@carmenalegre2096]

Great

[@debkroger9580]

can you use fondant for these?

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

+Deb Kroger No, fondant will not dry hard and brittle like gumpaste. They are two very different products.

[@debkroger9580]

ok, thank you

[@katarzynasoczynska8525]

Thank you for this video! It`s perfect

[@emiliomorales3052]

admirable

[@dracocamacho]

hi chef! I used satin Ice gumpaste for my peony flowers and thought it would hold after drying a few days, about 3-4 days. after it was exposed to room temp. it softened and the petals were destroyed. when I went to our local baking supply store they suggested I should use tylose powder. I tried making flowers again and even used more tylose to harden it. but when exposed again to room temp. it softened again. do you have any suggestion how to stabilize gumpaste? I live in a tropical country, the Philippines and temperature is really a huge factor here. thanks in advance!

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

Flowers should be made using all gumpaste. Fondant never completely dries, especially in humid weather. Unfortunately, even a good gumpaste will require drying in a room with very low humidity or the flowers will stay soft on the inside and may mold.

[@melissadilbar732]

Put them in your oven for 48 hours with the oven light on. Worked like magic for me. Ten of mine melted and it takes me an hour and. Half to do one. I felt so defeated until I tried this and worked so far.

[@nessveroncruz6810]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@klentanthonyargana1289]

Hi, i just want to ask is gum paste or sugar paste can be eaten?

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

Gum paste and sugar paste are different products. Gumpaste and Flower paste are the same and fondant and sugar paste are the same. So, gum paste and flower paste have more gum additives and decorations made with this dry hard. It is not very tasty. Sugar Paste and fondant are used to cover and cake and are meant to be eaten. Every brand has a different flavor and texture. Some better than others.

[@armannipecora9225]

what is gumpaste exactly

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

+Armanni Pecora It is a sugar dough like fondant to which a gum additive has been added to the paste. This allows it to be rolled very thin for petals and it dries hard. It is edible but does not taste great.
