Making fondant roses can be time consuming and fiddly. This article explains how to simplify the process and create fondant roses that are simple yet effective.
Ingredients
- Fondant
Steps
-
1Roll out the fondant to a thickness of about 0.5 centimeter (0.2 in). If you are colouring it, do this beforehand.

You can also make the rounded end of the tear drop wavy or uneven, to give the rose a more natural look. -
7Allow to dry. Once you are happy with your rose, leave to dry in a cool, dry area, to prevent the fondant from becoming sticky, for one day. They can be left for less time, but this is for best results.
- Avoid storing the fondant roses in the fridge, as that will create condensation on the fondant when you move them to a room-temperature location.
-
8Use as required. Once dried, the roses can be placed on cakes, cookies or other baked goods as needed.
