Gumpaste Flowers

I am getting ready for a Birthday cake that I have to decorate on Friday night. Here I made some loops for a bow. Then I wanted to practice some of my unknown gumpaste skills. These are my first roses. Of course, they are not botanically correct, but I will get there (some day..maybe?). I will be taking some classes with Ruth Drennan next month. I am very excited, she is very famous for her gumpaste flowers and one of the starts of "Amazing Wedding Cakes' in We channel.

Here the roses/unknown flowers are drying. I will paint them with pearl luster dust once they are completely dry.
