I am also a self taught decorator and find every cake that I do a challenge to my knowledge. Everything that I have learnt since starting this new hobby, I have learnt off the internet and different cake sites..
My latest is wanting to do flowers, but having a bit of a battle with that...
But, suppose with time and patience I will get the hang of it...

Hi Chamaine :) Glad to have you join the club. I watched a video from the forum here on CWB showing you how to make roses from gum paste. No tools were needed and after viewing it a few time I got it. I don't remember the name of it but will check and send it your way. If your a fast learner like me you should be fine.

The only class I took was a Girl's Scouts class when I was 8. That doesn't count now, does it? Other than that, I've learned mostly from books, since I started long before the internet came along.
