Ribbon Rose Tutorial

Cristina Cinquino of PrimaCristina shares a delightfully simple tutorial for sweet ribbon roses. These lovely flowers, made with Satin Ice fondant, are so easy to make and a perfect adornment for cookies, cupcakes, and more.

Rolled Mini-Roses Tutorial

Components:

Red Satin Ice Fondant

Clean Egg Carton or Cupped container for Roses to Dry

Small Rolling Pin (optional)

Steps:

  1. Break off a gumball sized piece of well-kneaded fondant. Roll Into a Ball.

2. Flatten ball evenly into an oval shape between fingers or with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness

3. Pinching one end of the ova, begin rolling.

4. Keep top edge of oval even then gradually begin to taper the rolled fondant down so that the edge ruffles end above where you first began rolling.

5. When you reach the end of the oval, begin to pinch the bottom of the rosette between your index finger and thumb so that it comes to a point and the excess fondant on bottom falls off.

6. Place mini-rose in an egg carton to dry firmly before applying to cake. (about ½ hour to 1 hour is plenty)

 

7. Attach to cake. (and marvel at how easy that was!)
