How to Make (easy) Gum Paste Roses

A few years ago I took the Wilton Cake Decorating classes, but I never quite got the hang of making buttercream roses.  It just wasn't my thing I guess.  But...I came across this short video that shows how to make roses out of gum paste.  You can make them any size.  All you need to add is a fondant or gum paste leaf, or you can pipe leaves out of buttercream (which I don't do well either).  Try different colors or mix a varigated color scheme for a more realistic look.
