Red Gumpaste Roses

I'm just sharing some new things with making roses for my red gum-paste roses. First, I added Amercolor Super Red to Royal Icing, then I added Tylose to the royal icing to make the gum-paste, next the gumpaste was put in a shortening lined storage bag. I let it set for at least 12hrs. The next day I added more Americolor-Super Red and some tinted fuchsia Wilton fondant. I made that from Wilton gel color- Maroon.. I again, let that sit another night. These red gum-paste roses were dusted with red petal dust then painted with vodka. The roses were not steamed. This is the first time I tried this. I really like the finish with these roses. I hope this helps some one making red rose, I even made a second batch and got the same result. I made 60 roses in all!
