Rose Fondant - Tutorial

The other day I made a set of rose cupcakes for my dear friend's birthday and have promised to my readers that I will post a tutorial on how to make the rose fondant. To keep that promise, here is a simple step by step on how to prepare rose and leaf fondant.

What you need:

Some rolled fondant, colored as prefer

Sharp knife

A ziploc

Veining tool

1: roll a long cylinder as shown on the picture

2: make 4 same size cuts

3: roll the first three into round balls and the last one into a cylinder

4: place them inside a ziploc.

5: flatten each of them using your thumb.

6: Take out the cylinder one and roll it from one side.

7: continue to roll to the other side

8: The result will look like "stigma"

9: Take one of the flatten round shape, and wrap around the "stigma".

10: Take the second flatten round shape and place it overlap to the first one.

11: Do the same thing as for the last round shape.

12: Cut off the unwanted bottom part.

And here is the result....

Now to make the leaf.

1: Make round shape of green colored fondant, then rolled it on palm of hand to form an oval.

2: Flatten the oval, make adjustment of the leaf shape using your finger as needed. Then mark the long centre part using veining tool.

3: Mark the margin with veining tool as shown on the picture.

Here is a complete picture of the process of making the leaf.

Simple isn't it? Now is your turn to try...Keep practicing!
