Handmade Hydrangea Leaf Tutorial using Gumpaste, Cold Porcelain or Polymer Clay

This video is a free tutorial for people who want to teach themselves how to make realistic gum paste flowers from home. Most states offer cottage food sales where you can make cake and other edible food items from home to sell. With millions of people out of work, now is the best time to find something else to do from home and food or anything food related is the easiest way to make money even from the comfort of your own home. No need for the long daily commute to work and sit in the traffic everyday.

In this video, I will walk you through making hydrangea gum paste leaves that you can sell to other cake bakers who may not have the time to make their own decorations. Making gum paste flowers are very relaxing and puts you in a Zen mode. I remember back in 2009, while I was teaching a man how to make some gum paste flowers, he told me that he can relax more making gum paste flowers than his hour-long sessions with his therapist. It turned out that he was just looking for something to divert his mind from the businesses he owns that are affected by the economy's downturn during that year. I believe that this year is no different. Many are looking for work, out of work, looking for other things to do and just over-all looking for some ways to make ends meet. I hope that these videos along with others that I will be uploading soon, you can learn and get an idea to take advantage of your state's cottage food law and start your own business.
