Miniature Roses

There are lots beautiful cake decorating ideas found in the internet today. But if you are searching for a tutorial on how to make miniature roses, you’ve come to the right website.

In order to make lovely miniature roses, you need to mix fondant with a bit of tylose powder to create a pliable paste. Take a small pea sized ball of this paste and roll it in your hands to form a small sausage shape. Take your rolling pin and flatten the sausage shaped paste thinly.

To make petals for your roses, you’ll need to pull the edges of the flattened paste with your fingers. To do that, position your fingers on each side of the paste and pull out the edges. Start from the bottom end and upwards. Use a cocktail stick or frilling tool to frill the edges of the paste and turn it over before rolling.

Start rolling the flattened paste loosely starting from the right end. Pinch in the bottom to secure the whole thing. Use your fingers or a fondant tool to gently open up the petals of your miniature rose. Once that’s done, you can cut the base of the rose using a scissors for a more finished appearance.
