How to Make Fondant Roses

November 1, 2013 by Roxy

How to make fondant roses

I’ve been spending some time making fondant roses lately so I decided to make this quick tutorial and share with you what I learned. Really, they are not that hard to make and they are a beautiful decoration for cupcakes, cakes etc. – check out my Heart-Shaped Cake covered in roses if you don’t believe me!

Depending on your experience working with fondant, the tools you have available (using a pasta machine to roll out the fondant will save you a ton of time!) and other distractions (such as crying babies) it will take you about 5-10 min per rose :).

Other than fondant, you will need:

  • rolling pin or pasta machine
  • rose cutter
  • some cornstarch
  • fondant shaping foam set
  • ball tool
  • gel food colouring if you want to make your roses in a different colour

Firstly, make the rose center. Roll a 1/2 inch ball of fondant and form it into a teardrop shape.

Sprinkle some cornstarch on your work surface so the fondant won’t stick and roll the fondant until it’s quite thin. I used my pasta machine and went down to the #3 setting but you could roll it even thinner.

Using the rose cutter cut out 3 blossom shapes per rose. I have the two Ateco Rose Cutters and used the smaller one this time. You can find them on Amazon or if you are in GTA, at Golda’s Kitchen… just google it and I’m sure you’ll find other places where you can buy them.

Then place the petals on the fondant shaping foam and using the ball tool smooth out the edges of the petal.

Now if you don’t have a rose cutter it’s not the end of the world! Just cut off small, evenly-sized pieces of fondant and roll them into tiny balls. These will be your rose petals. Take a plastic foiling pocket, cut the edges off, open it up and place the tiny balls of fondant inside the plastic pocket. Using your thumb, smooth out the little pieces of fondant. Keep them a little thinner around the edges (for 3/4 of the petal) but leaving the bottom (~ ¼ of the petal) somewhat thicker.

Brush the rose center with some water and wrap one petal around; the thicker edge should be towards the bottom and then thinner one at the top. Attach another petal around and place the third one half away inside the second one. Again glue them together using some water if necessary and gently press against the base to attach. Attach all the remaining petals in a similar way. Lastly, pinch the edges of the petals a little to make them look more natural. You can cut off any excess fondant you might have at the bottom.

I left the fondant roses dry out in an egg carton for several hours.

Have fun making roses…
