Ribbon roses are the easiest flowers one can make from fondant. They are such a simple way to make your cakes and cupcakes look ELEGANT!
Best of all, you don't need any fondant cutters :D
1
Roll out fondant in any color you want. I chose to make my roses in pink.
2
Using a pizza cutter or a fondant cutter, cut ribbons which are 1 inches wide and 8 inches long.
If you want to make smaller roses, cut strips which are thinner and shorter.
3
Fold over one corner of the strip.
4
Start rolling and continue all the way to the end…
5
…until it looks like this.
6
Cut the end of your rose with scissors.
7
Discard the end.
8
Smooth out the bottom of your rose using your fingers.
9
All done!
Let these dry overnight. They will become hard or semi-hard and then place them on your cakes/cupcakes!
Pretty easy... right? :P
