[@shellyguevara7856]

Can you share where you got your exact veiner? Thank you for the tutorial! Fantastic! I’ve been making rose leaves a long time but the method how you tape them really helped me!

[@FinespunCakes]

I purchased this one from Flour Confections many years ago, I don't know if they still have it. I would check Sugar Delites I bet that they'd have one similar!

[@janfleetwood8146]

I'm just starting to learn the art of sugar flowers. I'm teaching myself and your videos are VERY helpful!!! Is using Wilton premade gum paste okay? Or should I make it? And approximately how many flowers can you get from your recipe? Thankyou 🌺🌹🌸

[@FinespunCakes]

Thank you!! I’m so glad you’re finding them useful. You can try with Wilton pre made Gumpaste but I usually recommend making a homemade batch. If you use my recipe or Nicolas lodge’s (slightly fewer ingredients), either will work. You can get many flowers out of it if you’re rolling the paste thin enough :)

[@venusmedler7669]

Which gel colors do you like and do you use most? Some people like rainbow, some like americolor and some like sugar flair. Also do you have a specific chart that you would recommend to understand color theory better?

[@FinespunCakes]

I use Sugarflair usually and sometimes Progel. Yes there's a colour theory video on my channel here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5vcdXd9e82Ep7c

[@isabeljuanprats2084]

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience, your work is very nice, I would like to know where I can buy the silicone mold for leaves like that, the leaf looks very natural.

[@FinespunCakes]

I can’t find this same one anymore :( but there is a very similar one at Sugar Delites it’s usually labelled as a “multi purpose leaf mold”

[@lisaanderson135]

Thank you thank you so much Alexandria! Your purple exploded which is such a horror and I had my claret exploded in my color drawer 🤦🏻‍♀️Messy messy messy!

[@FinespunCakes]

It will be there forever 😬 haha until I run through all of the colours which takes me a long time. Enjoy the tutorial!

[@user-qs8tb5dj3b]

What gumpaste are you using please

[@FinespunCakes]

My own recipe- you can find it on my channel :)

[@angelawu834]

Good job! but that's not rose leaves.
