i am trying to make gum paste roses for the first time. the white ones i did turned out beautifully, but the ones that i colored blue before making them keep crumbling. i used food color paste to color them. any ideas why this is happening? any suggestions?

hummm, what colors did you use, maybe you what to use a little of shortening to make the paste more soft, when you streaching it then use cornstarch instead of power sugar. Try that.
