No comment This Sunday is my first Gumpaste Class, please pray!

I found out that out of 10 students, I'm one of the only ones who hasn't made gumpaste flowers! eek! This class is expensive too. I paid 75.00 bucks for this one day class, and the supplies cost me almost the same! Send good vibes this way puhleeeeze!

You'l do fine. You obviously have a knack for creating beautiful cakes, given the award you won. Making gumpaste flowers is easy if you have the right touch.

Sending good vibes, sending good vibes!!

I took two classes, one at Wilton,and one at Notter's w/ Colette Peters.

They are fun to make. And wait til you get more into making all kinds of flowers. Cutters, molds, veiners $$$$.

Have Fun!

I am sure you will do fine. If you are anxious, you can always pratice a little at home before the class.


Good luck!

P.S. Let us know how the class went

Well, I survived the class! Yipee! We started at 9am and finished at 4, with a 20 minute break at 2pm. Crazy! We made an open rose, rosebud, stephanotis, and leaves. It was not as hard as I thought and I was happy with how the arrangement turned out. Linda Meeden was the teacher and she is from Australia, but now lives in Tennessee.
