    Thank you so much for this tutorial.
    I have 2 questions.
    1. for how long can the roses be kept and used (stock reserve)?
    2. Can you please explain what is the difference between Fondant and Gum past and what are the different uses?

      Hi, Goldie Thanks for your compliments. 1. You can keep them in a box ( no need airtight) for few months . They are not going to be disappeared after that =). They may just loose the colour and so on. 2. If you read the ingredients, they both the same. The only difference is gum paste has more tylose or whatever the gum they use. That makes it fondant has better stretch for coating, gum paste has the ability to hold the shapes for modelling. Also, gum paste dries faster. You can add your own Tylose into fondant to achieve that to some degree.

    Hi Alicia and Serdar, I have made the roses with Marshmallows Fondant. It worked beautifully – I did not knead in much extra sugar but I added 1 Tsp of CMC per 2-300 g of Fondant.
    I hope this helps, cheers.
    PS: Thank you Serdar, it is a wonderful way of making beautiful roses -:)

  • Alicia Haniff 3 years ago
