Making Roses

July 2010

Roses. You see roses on practically every grocery store cake and many bakery cakes. They are a standard in terms of decoration. And after all this time, I had never learned how to make roses – out of icing or fondant. And this seemed like a major oversight on my part.

Since I’ve been experimenting with fondant decorations lately, I decided to tackle fondant roses first.  I found this video on YouTube and I basically copied what is shown here. I honestly found it to be relatively easy.

Next I will have to tackle icing roses 🙂

Here is a picture of the finished roses on a cake. See more about this cake here.
