Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

This rose was made without any tools whatsoever. Simply place a ball of gumpaste between two pieces of plastic and shape with your fingers. If anyone is interesting in trying it, you can find the tutorial here: http://cakesdecor.com/LMCakeDesign/blog/560. Something is a little off with the placement of the petals but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Never really like how I do my roses. Don't seem realistic enough. Anyone have any suggestions?

some times I do mine the same way , nothing wrong with it , the thing with the way we both do them like this is , we put them to low  when we add the , I know I do it to all the time , I need to remember to add them more up and out , instead of down and out , if you could understand that ! ? I always forget when I do them , I add them to low , but its still perfect ,
