Sugar roses for a Christening cake this weekend. It's amazing to see these little guys take shape over a couple of hours. They are not finished yet, they still need that little seed bud under the calyx, dusted with petal dust and steamed, and the wires wrapped. I'll post a photo of the finished sprays.

How were the roses done? They are lovely. Dont have time to sign up so using Anonymous. Thank you.
Hi Anonymous
The roses and rosebuds are built around a "bud" of gumpaste either on a stick or wire. The bud is shaped a bie like an egg, but goes more to a rounded pointed end on the smaller end of the egg. The petals are cut out, shaped and added to the bud individuallty, building around in layers. The bud has about 6 petals, the rose 11 petals or more.
