How to Make a Sugar Flower Rose - Gum Paste Tutorial

In this video I'll teach you how I make my version of a classic sugar flower rose out of gum paste. Over the years I've perfected my method, and having studied different techniques from sugar artists like Maggie Austin, Jacqueline Butler, Naomi Yamamoto, and Nine Cakes Bakery, I've found a way to make a gum paste rose that is unique to me. I favor a style that highlights lush flowers with lots of movement and life, and I hope you'll give this a try! Post any questions in the comments below and be sure to subscribe to my channel :)

[@arteyminiatura5619]

Beautiful Rosa I loved it, thank you very much for sharing your work The only thing I don't like is that it goes very fast and I didn't appreciate how you put the petals, can't you see it in normal camera? without going that fast please !! greetings from Mexico!!😉🥂🎉🤗😘😘

[@SamanthaMayfairCakes]

Sorry about that! Will be sure to keep it mind for future videos!

[@ammaranoman7466]

Great tutorial finally, please guide mein which company dust colour you used for flowers.

[@SamanthaMayfairCakes]

Thank you! I used a few different brands: Sunflower Sugar Art, Crystal Colors, and Roxy & Rich. I also mix cornstarch in to lighten up the tint on some of the color blends I create.

[@ammaranoman7466]

@@SamanthaMayfairCakes Thank you, thank you so much. I was searching for a long time about these colours. You have my eternal gratitude.

[@ammaranoman7466]

One more question These are oil based colours or luster dust.

[@SamanthaMayfairCakes]

Happy to help!

[@SamanthaMayfairCakes]

These are petal dusts; they are matte colors where as luster dust has shimmer added to it.

[@kimcruz3889]

Does coloring gum paste only involved powder dust? Can’t it be colored with gel food color with water? :(

[@SamanthaMayfairCakes]

Yes!! If I’m making something a specific color I will tint the gum paste with gel color first (no water) to establish an all-over color and then use the dusts to enhance it/add accents.

[@kimcruz3889]

Samantha Mayfair Cakes thank you! But can i use diluted gel food color as accents?

[@SamanthaMayfairCakes]

If if it’s part of your design then sure! Just use a high proof vodka or rose spirit instead of water as the water will degrade the gum paste-the alcohol evaporates off very quickly.

Thanks for the tutorial... but most of the time it is out of camera n we keep seeing the material... please if you keep it in mind next time. Thanks

[@SamanthaMayfairCakes]

Will do! Thank you for the feedback!

[@shabz09]

Thanku for this video... But would appreciate if u can show from the side, so that there is more understanding on the petal placements and also if u showed one or two petals from each layer in slow-mo just to clearly understand what is happening.

[@SamanthaMayfairCakes]

Thank you for the feedback!! I’ll try to film another one that is slower and just focuses on the petals. Appreciate the input!!

[@anuradhapaudwal54]

It’s lovely but too fast

[@SamanthaMayfairCakes]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@anuradhapaudwal54]

Wish it was a bit slower...
