READY TO MAKE THIS?
Directions
1
Prep your work surface with a light dusting of cornstarch or powdered sugar.
2
Roll out fondant dough to a 1/8-inch thickness.
3
Using the daisy cutter, press into the dough to make a flower shape. Make 2 daisies.
4
Set 1 daisy on top of the other, angling slightly so the petals stagger. Use your finger or a fondant ball to press down on the center of the flower, defining the center and securing the 2 pieces together. Then lift the edges of the petals upward to create that realistic sunflower look.
5
Add a small amount of edible adhesive to the center of the sunflower and place an upside-down REESE’S Mini Cup on top of it.
6
Repeat steps 3-5 to create as many sunflowers as you like.
