Materials Needed

  • Sugar paste or fondant in desired colors
  • Cornstarch or icing sugar for dusting
  • Rolling pin
  • Small round cutter
  • Rose petal cutter set
  • Ball tool
  • Soft brush
  • Edible glue or water
  • Floral wire
  • Flower foam pad
  • Non-stick work surface

Step 1: Preparing the Sugar Paste

Start by kneading your sugar paste or fondant until it becomes pliable and easy to work with. If the paste feels too sticky, dust your hands and the work surface with cornstarch or icing sugar. Kneading will also help soften the paste and make it more elastic.

Step 2: Creating the Rose Petals

Roll out a small portion of sugar paste into a thin sheet. Using a rose petal cutter, press it firmly into the paste to create the shape of a petal. Repeat this step to make multiple petals in various sizes, as roses have different-sized petals.

Step 3: Shaping the Petals

Place a petal on the flower foam pad and gently thin the edges using the ball tool. This technique adds a realistic touch to the petal. Repeat this process for each petal you have prepared.

Step 4: Assembling the Rose

Take the smallest petal and wrap it tightly around a piece of floral wire, securing it with edible glue or water at the base. Gradually add larger petals, one by one, securing them in place. Use edible glue or water sparingly to avoid a sticky mess.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Once you have attached all the petals, use your fingers to gently shape and arrange them, giving your rose a natural appearance. You can also dust the petals with a touch of edible luster dust to add a subtle shimmer.

Step 6: Let It Dry

Allow your sugar paste rose to dry and set in a cool, dry place. It may take a few hours or even overnight for the rose to harden completely. Once dried, it's ready to be used as an enchanting centerpiece for your baked creations!

  • Note: If you wish to make a full bouquet of sugar paste roses, repeat these steps for each rose you want to create. Combine the roses by wrapping their wires together with floral tape and add foliage if desired.

Now that you know how to make a sugar paste rose, you can impress your friends and family with your cake decorating skills. The possibilities are endless, from wedding cakes to birthday cupcakes, and everything in between. Experiment with different colors, sizes, and styles to create unique floral arrangements that are sure to impress. Have fun and happy baking!
