Melissa (my wife of nearly two years now) and I began yesterday our adventures in creating gumpaste flowers. There are few things I have ever seen that so well utilize both culinary mastery and beautiful illusion as gumpaste flowers. The medium of gumpaste allows for such a realistic texture and appearance of flower petals when worked correctly that a proficient artist can create a piece that could fool an untrained eye at distance. A master, as I have seen several times lately, can produce a work that is so similar to the real thing that without close inspection one would never know the farce presented to them.
Our beginning efforts, coming soon.
