Thank you so much!

[@lisaanderson135]

I am not a huge fan of carnation fan, but I am going to try this! I just made an off white full rose and sadly it got knocked over and about 3-5 petal tips shattered ( like my heart). My husband gave me a dozen of my favorite roses for our first Valentine’s Day with a beautiful hand written heartfelt note ❤️ I realized that he is a very good listener because the Peace rose is not very common and I think I only mentioned it once. Anyway, I planning on joining your class! I can’t wait!!!

[@FinespunCakes]

Ahhh nooo!! I know the pain, unfortunately :( That's so sweet and special that he remembered! A perfect valentine's day gift :) Can't wait too!

[@chrissylang7868]

I'm new to sugar flowers, you are so talented. Love your video's so easy to follow. Have you made or could you make a video on how to make baby's breath. Thank you so much for all your time to make these tutorials. I'm a keen follower

[@FinespunCakes]

[@teenbakesstopmotion9675]

[@daemmerung19]

They are so lovely:) But mainly/only used in funeral arrangements in my country... which is actually the perfect Timing! I am doing a funeral cake for my bffs 30s next week 😅🤣 thank you!

[@FinespunCakes]

Hahah! That's great, perfect timing 😂

[@woinblue8541]

I love your channel I just found you. If you make flowers ahead of time how long will they keep

[@vigatroiano447]

The flowers turned out so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! 🙂 A quick question for you I want to use your sugar paste recipe but was wondering are there certain brands that you use or would recommend more than others? 🙂 Love your tutorials!! 💜💜

[@FinespunCakes]

thank you viga! I haven’t experimented with many brands but I do hear Suzanne Espers sugar paste is lovely.

[@vigatroiano447]

@@FinespunCakes I will have to check out Suzanne Espers. Thank you so much! Happy baking! 🎂💜

[@joannjacquin4983]

Alexandria, at the moment, I only have the Wilton set of two 5 Petal cutters. I wanted to order the FMM cutters you link to, it they won’t arrive in time to use them for my upcoming order. Is there a way I can use the 2 piece Wilton set to make the carnations? And, I’m also wondering how much gumpaste is needed for each complete carnation?

[@mabiamedeirosreis5470]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜🌷

[@gilarytorrespagan5831]

hello what is the glue made of ? Thank you for sharing your beautiful work ❤

[@FinespunCakes]

You can use water or water mixed with a little bit of CMC :)

[@suredaneshmand8757]

👍😍👍

[@francinesandino2579]

Hey there! Is that gum paste flexible after it dries?

[@FinespunCakes]

Hi, no this gumpaste hardens completely when it dries

[@user-vb7dm9ds2w]

Where do you get the coloured from

[@hazelhazel9605]

Is it real gum glue?

[@reshmanair870]

Hi, I am trying to make layered cake at home . But am struggling with qty of batter required for different sizes cake pans... Also struggling with how much buttercream required for layering and covering the cakes. Would be helpful if you could make a video regarding the same. Thanking you.

[@FinespunCakes]

That's a great idea I will add that to my list! Wilton has some basic measurements if you need a bit of guidance too :) Just search cake baking and serving guide

[@reshmanair870]

@@FinespunCakes thank you for your reply.. I love the way you explain and hence felt you would be explain it in a very easy manner for people like us to understand.. Thanking you.

[@reshmanair870]

@@FinespunCakes the way you explain the making of sugar flowers makes it so easy .. Though I hvnt done them but still felt comfortable going thru the videos.. Every details shown and listed by way of products used.. very helpful videos

[@benjaminflanagan5763]

If I allow my gumpast to sit like you do on the pad..it dries out way too fast and starts to crack

[@FinespunCakes]

Try using my recipe and if it's too dry when you're kneading it you can add a few drops of water, it shouldn't dry out too quickly
