You'll need
-
Cornstarch or powdered sugar (to prevent sticking)
-
Fondant rolling pin
-
Small circle cutters
Directions
1
Prep your working surface with a light dusting of cornstarch or powdered sugar.
2
Roll out fondant dough to a 1/8-inch thickness.
3
Cut circles from the fondant to make petals. You’ll need 5 to 11 petals, depending on how large you want your roses.
4
Gently pinch the circles with your fingers to make the circles imperfect, creating a more realistic petal shape.
5
Start the center of the rose by rolling one petal in your fingers. Before that petal is rolled closed, tuck the edge of a second petal in and continue rolling.
6
Take a third petal and center it on one of the seams. Tuck the edge of a fourth petal in and continue rolling, overlapping petals around the flower until you’re happy with the size.
7
Repeat steps 3-6 to create as many roses as you like.
Inspiration
Create all types of flowers by swapping your cutter style or using colored fondant dough. Use this method or try Daises, Leaves or Sunflowers.
