thanks very much rach, i might have to do that at some stage. well done on another cake order, one i'm sure you'll enjoy!
That's great nauseen! I am doing a cake dec course but it's once a week and my first roses i did there were frilled too much. I've tried again at home and they just ended up looking awful. Next week i'll ask the tutor to help me with them and hopefully i'll get it right.

yes, lol, that is a change!! your cakes are lovely. you're right though, the glazing and dusting do make a big difference. i'm going to try again this evening and also try and make my paste a bit thinner. wish me luck!

Hi RAch! I spent £60.00 not bad 10 pounds over budger. I loved the course and the roses i made was the best one there!! We made them in apple trays so no wires but i mtried making a wire one and it looks ok but maybe more practice.

Just need to cut petals biggest size first about 4, fine the edges then lay in an apple tray. in a cros shape gluing each. then cut another 4 middle size, fine the edges then lay on top of the first four overlapping now so that you don't see the apple tray. cut 4 more and do the same. on a tooth pick roll a ball to represent the center of the rose making sure it's gonna fit the next size up cutter. start with 2 so taht you're covering tthe center, then cut another 4 and attach this last ones to the tooth pick. when finished trim the whole thing so that it sits neatly in the center of the big rose, attach with glue then using sponge you need to lift the petals one at a time to the center. use very small pieces. before it dries out completely check if it retains the shape then pull spomges out with twizzers.
That's how i made mine. oh you need to brush the apple tray with a tiny bit of fat so it does not stick to it.
