Hi Jess. I have just purchased the amazing Rice paste flower tutorial and I am very impressed with how clear your instructions are. I can’t wait to try making the paste and the flowers in the tutorial. Thank you for doing the on-line courses for us who cannot make it to your workshops. Hopefully you will come to Australia and teach here. Cheers.
Thank you so very much!Hope to see you in person!
Enjoy your time with cakejess.com!
Love,
Jessica
Hello CakeJess- very interested in your rice paste flower class. My question is are the supplies you need to make the rice paste easily available in most markets. I live in the USA. I do use NL gumpaste recipe but the tylose has to be ordered online since no local store carry it. At least I can easily order it with other items at reasonable cost.
Thanks
Pam
Hi Pam,
Yes you can order all the flours on Amazon.
It’s available at food stores too.

will you also be teaching the burnt rose technigue?
I will try to
Hi Jess, I’m very interested in purchasing and learning how to make the realistic, beautiful rice paste flowers. Can the flowers be made in advance and what is the shelf life and can they be stored while keeping their texture without drying out?
Hi there,
We can definitely make rice paste flowers in advance and in perfect conditions ( stable weather, not exposing to dust…), it will stay beautiful for years. In dry weather, it will dry hard like gum paste flowers; in humidity, it will become flexible and not be easy to break without melting or collapsing like gumpaste.
Best,
Jessica
Hi Jess- How do you “set” the color on the flowers using Rice Paste? When you use gumpaste you can lightly steam them so the color dust does not stain/rub off on your cake etc. Please advise.
Hi
We can do the same for rice paste flowers. After dusting, you can steam them.

Good morning Jessica,
My rice paste rose bud (the bud to start a rose) is cracking. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Sandra,
It is because the outside dries fast and the inside is still soft. For the buds, I recommend to use styrofoam.

Jessica
Can I use flavoured icing sugar in the rice paste instead of caster sugar? I have some really delicious flavour ones like lemon drizzle, pina colada etc. Thanks.
You can, but you need to reduce the amount of icing sugar compared to castor because icing sugar makes the paste much softer
Hi Jessica. Thank you for the rice paste class. Can the paste be frozen and if so what is the shelf life?
Hi Mashooda,
Yes, it should be vacuum sealed and then can be frozen for few months.
Best regards
Vaccum sealed!? Maybe that is what I should have done because I only wrapped it and put it in a plastic bag. When I used it after freezing it, all the petals cracked after drying. I have not frozen my paste since then.
It cracks not because you put it into the freezer. It’s because of the extreme dryness in where you work.
Thank you. How long do the flowers last once they are dry?
It ưill last for years as long as you keep it in stable conditions without changes too much in humidity
Hi, can the flower be done without the pasta roller? I do not have one.
Hi,
Definitely can. I use it because it saves my hands & I love very thin petals more quickly. You can roll out the paste manually more easily than gum paste
Best,
Jessica
Hi Jess. I am really happy about the rice paste because it is so much easier to use than gumpaste! It rolls out easily, takes colour beautifully, can be rolled out thin as well as it curls a little. I did nitice that it’s not the best though for certain petails which I don’t want to curls, like the tulip so I use gumpaste. Is there a particular reason why you use gumpaste as well as rice paste?
I have only one struggle, that is, the petals are really fragile, extremely so after they are dry. Is there something I can do? I have been breaking a lot of petals even while trying to dust with colour.
Thanks
Hi Sandra,
Is your place very dry? Rice paste flowers become more fragile in extreme dryness, so we need to avoid putting it in baking room or air-conditioned room.
You need to follow my recipe & process of cooking strictly, the petals will not curl. You can make any flowers either with curls or not. But the petals may distort if it is put in extreme dryness.
Best,
Jessica
Can I use cornstarch or wheat starch instead of potato starch?
You can use wheat starch but corn starch will make the paste more fragile.
Hi Jess, I love your rice paste tutorial and how wonderful and easy it is to work with your recipe. My question is, perhaps because of the quality of glutinous rice flour I can access with, my flowers becomes off-white when they dry. How can I make them whiter? Thank you!
I have purchased your wafer paper and I’m excited for the video to come out! Lots of love!
Sheila
Hi Sheila,
I’m happy to know you love the recipe and find it easy to work with the paste.The cooking time I set in the recipe is the most common amount that is proper for all climate types; but in fact you can cook it for half a minute or 1 minute more using the same recipe if it’s not too hot in your kitchen; and the paste may get whiter when you cook more (but not overcook). One more thing is, the white rice paste flowers become whiter when they get dry in dry weather; in high humidity they can’t ( I suppose you hardly experience this change if the weather in your place is almost humid all the time & not diverse like mine.)
Anyway, there’s a kind of whitener possibly used in pastry called titanium dioxide but I love the rice paste pale white shade & I have never used that whitener so I can’t give you an advice on how to use it; but if you just want the white shade similarly to gum paste, you may try that thing.
Thank you for your feedback!
Love,
Jessica
Hi Jess,
I am interested in purchasing this module.
But I have 1 question. Are you teaching how to make edible lace as well in this module?
Thanks & regards,
hi,
No, I only teach bean paste lace, not rice paste one. In this class, you will learn to make rice paste as a flower paste then learn 2 flowers out of rice paste: David Austin rose & open rose.
Best,
J
The videos are amazing! Very clear instructions and no shortcuts. Thank you for responding right away with my issue!
hi Jessica, I am going to purchase the rice paste and flower techniques tutorial. I just want to ask you if we can make lace also with rice paste.
Hi,
No, rice paste lace is quite fragile.
Best,
Jessica
Dear Jess,
The course is fantastic! I’m in love with your rice paste recipe. It’s super easy to make, and work with it. Thank you!
hi jessika , how can i get the template for the flower,david austin ,open rose
Hi,
I used cutters for the petals & there are no templates; but all class materials can be found as follows:
2. Click on the arrows on tab “search” above each video
3. Scroll down on the list of lessons appearing on the left of the video after the click.
4. The attachments are at the end of list for downloading.

Hi! I am very interested to avail this lesson. I just wanna make sure however if the materials will be readily available in the supermarket or baking stores? I live in the Philippines. 🙂
Hi there,
I’m sure the materials are available in your country. I have some Filipino students and they’ve made beautiful rice paste flowers.

Hi Jess, I made the rice paste with your recipe and instructions. When I kneaded it it was beautifully silky and soft. However, when I took it out of the fridge today it was crumbly and had lumps in it! I have been heating for 20 secs and kneading it and it is now improving. Am I on the right track or is there something else I should be doing?
Love your classes and admire your amazing work.
Jamey
Hi Jamey,
Did you leave it in the fridge for 2 days or more? If not,I guess your fridge is too strong & it might have made the paste become hard on the outside and when u kneaded, it mixed the hard into the inside & created lumps.
If you don’t use the paste immediately, you can wrap it in several layers of cling film & put it in a ziplock bag then cover all in a wet towel then preserve it in the fridge. The wet towel will protect the paste from drying.
However, rice paste normally stay fresh in the fridge for maximum 4 days only.
Thanks so much for the compliments!
Love,
J
Thanks Jess. My fridge is probably too cold, plus it is winter in South Australia and very cold. I am going to spend some time kneading the rest of the dough until it is pliable enough. I’m now watching your bean paste tutorial and I will be trying that next!!
Jamey
Hi Jess-
Love Love Love your rice paste class. When you are cutting and shaping the first layer of outer petals, how long do you let them set before using the ball tool to “cup” the outer edge of the petals? I have tried letting them set for 8 minutes and they are still a bit soft and do not hold the cup shape very well. Any help would be appreciated.
One other question, when I am creating the clusters I have done the 14 clusters like in the video and used the correct size Styrofoam ball and when assemble the center it seams like the clusters DO NOT lay properly and we=hen you look at the center from the top you can still see the edge of the Styrofoam, should the center clusters curve out?
Thanks!
Hi Alejandro,
Thank you for joining & loving the class!
The petals get firm for cupping techniques according to how dry your working space is (same like gum paste, rice paste behaves differently in different weather/working conditions but it’s slower in drying compared to gum paste). So this is what I think you can do to speed up the process:
1. Let them rest more before cupping them if it’s not too humid in your working space.
2. If you find it too humid, use a dehumifier to support. It will help with the entire process of making flowers, not only at this stage.
3. Condition the petals with cornstarch to make them set faster.
The 2nd question is an expected one! These are some tips:
1. Make layers of petals on each cluster open a bit from each other to create a volume.
2. Make new petal a bit bigger & higher than the previous one of the same layer( by using bigger petal or thinning the petal out more. This also makes each cluster have a proper volume. Don’t use smaller petals than the sizes I use in the lessons.
2. When assembling, don’t squeeze them together too much esp. when you finish, the 14 clusters are still soft to be easily sticked together. Too much squeezing will make the volume of the whole center decrease & seem not to fit it the styrofoam base.
3. The cupped outer layers must be well-cupped & cover the sides of the center perfectly. it means they should’t be assembled lower than the center. Each cupped petal must hold into the center a bit.
4. If you already work out techniques 1,2 & 3 properly but the look is still the same, you can make some new petals separately & “fill” in each gap between the clusters in a free style copying the movements of the petals in the nature to fix the imperfection. it will work!

Jessica
Hello, my rice paste becomes dry quickly and the petals are very fragile. It is cold here in US but room temperature around 68 F. I tried different rice flour but still not happy with the paste., not very pliable as in your videos! Anything I did wrong?
Thanks
LP
Hi there,
The paste being not pliable might be because of the following reasons:
1. The rice flour. It must be glutinous & Thai products will have better outcome. Don’t use Vietnamese glutinous rice flour brands because they are almost not pure glutinous.
2. As it’s dry in your place, you may need to add more water; and it must be hot boiling!
3. Work on the mixture right away after adding water.
4. Don’t over cook. Cooking too much may make the paste become aged.
5. Knead the paste right away after cooking.
6. As it’s dry in your place, cover the paste in several layers of cling film & cover the covered batch in a damp towel even if you put it in the fridge.
Hope you will work out the problems you may have from the list!

Jessica
Hi Jessica, I am loving this course. Please let me clear some questions:
a) Can I use Tapioca Starch instead Potato Starch?
b) I made with Potato Starch the dough is so stick ( I tried 3 min, 4 min, 5 min) and (100,110,115 water)
c) Is there something to substitute styroform?
Thank you so much
Hi,
Question 1 was already answered.
2. A home made dough quality always depends on the materials you use & in this case, weather too. Make sure to use pure potato starch, Thai glutinous rice flour seems to have better results though different brands may give different outcomes.You may adjust the amount of water but don’t change cooking time. With the same recipe as mine, you can reduce water until.you achieve desired consistency depending on the material source & humidity in your place.
3.you can make the base using the paste but I just recommend styro foam as the paste will make it too heavy & styro is also accepted in edible flower art as long as it is covered & not shown up.
Thanks for joining & loving the class.
Best,
Jessica
