Sweetcakes- Advanced Gum Paste Flowers Tip

I always say I learn more from my students than they learn from me and in this weeks Advanced Gum Paste class we all learned something new:

Do not paint your flowers using water and Wilton colorings if you are on South Carolina Well Water!!

The results of painting with South Carolina well water are the same as making butter cream icing using well water-- IT DOES NOT WORK!! As many of you know the iron in our well waters will cause butter cream icing to separate,  and we learned this week that painting with this water will leave orange iron stains on your beautiful flowers!!!!

I don't know if this holds true anywhere else in the world but, for us it does.
