If you need to miss a lesson you are more than welcome to make that lesson up the next time I teach the course.

Learn to make lifelike gum paste roses, carnations, dasies and more at this class based off of the Beautiful Gum Paste Flowers kit.

The class teaching guidelines is not aimed at making ALL of the flowers in this kit. My personal goal is to learn as many of them as we can during the four week course but due to time constraints we may not be able to. 


The kit includes the following: 

Full color how-to-book include many arranging ideas and step-by-step instructions, 24 plastic cutters, 1 leaf mold, 3 wood modeling tools, protector flap, 
40-page instruction book and 2 foam squares for modeling.

Helpful Hints

To keep your left over gum paste fresh roll it into a ball and give it a light coating of vegetable shortening. Then wrap it it plastic wrap and place it in a zip lock bag.

Corn starch will dry your gum paste and powdered sugar makes it sticky. When filling your dusting pouch measure the 50/50 ratio carefully.

When working with gumpaste do not wear fuzzy clothing. It is impossible to get it off/out of your gumpaste.
