Topsy Turvy/Mad Hatter Cake

Advanced Gum Paste Flowers
In this four week project class you will learn how to mix, tint, roll and form gum paste and learn how to create life like flowers and leaves out of gumpaste.
The daisy, rose, carnation and chrysanthemum are taught in this book as well. Since these flowers are covered in the Wilton courses and these flowers will not be duplicated in this project class.
Please note that this class is fast paced and some flowers are very detailed. I do not recommended taking this course if you have not worked with gumpaste before. I would recommend taking the Gumpaste and Fondant course first and then moving on to this class.
