How to: Gumpaste Calla Lily

My attempt at them; not too shabby ;).

 Today i had to fill an order for 3 dozen cupcakes each with a gumpaste calla lily. Thankfully youtube has just about every how to you could want on it because i've NEVER made gumpaste calla lilies before.  I've only just recent begun using gumpaste and fondant... but i must say i do like it! Anyway, i wanted to share the youtube video(s) that helped me soo tremendously to learn how to do these flowers. The woman's name is Edna and her videos answer just about every question you could ask about how to do these and what you need.


It's a set of 4 videos, each with a different theme: 
1) What you need to make the flowers. --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUIjP1zRhH4&feature=related
3) How to construct the calla lily. --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=madrWe4pPZg&feature=related
4) How to paint/decorate the calla lily. --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpvE0omk4UE&feature=related

I thought about posting my own tutorial, but i feel no need to with how descriptive hers are. These flowers are very simple and can look so elegant!
