Equipment Required:
- Fondant
- Mini rolling pin
- Small scissors
- No. 4 paintbrush
- Water/edible glue
- Quilting ruler
- Flower petal cutters
- X-acto knife
Step 1.
Mix purple fondant with white fondant until
you achieve four graduating colours. Line up
your colours to make sure they are sufficiently
different in shades.
Step 2.
Use your rolling pin to roll your fondant as thin
as possible.
Step 3.
Use the quilting ruler to cut thin strips out of the
fondant.
Step 4.
Wrap your first fondant strip around a petal
cutter. Cut off the excess fondant with small
scissors.
Step 5.
Remove the fondant quill from the petal cutter.
Step 6.
Repeat this process six times for each size of the
petal cutter, in your preferred shade of purple
fondant. Set them aside and allow them to dry
for about an hour.
Step 7.
Use your paintbrush and slightly wet each side
of the bottom of the petal with water or edible
glue.
Step 8.
Add accenting colour strips of fondant to the
outside of the dry quills. This will add depth
to your final flower piece. Clip off the excess
fondant just as we did before.
Step 9.
To make the flower centre, lay a fondant strip
flat and start to slowly curl it up with your
paintbrush. Continue this process until you have
the centre quill the size you’d prefer.
Steps 10a-c.
Finally, you can start to assemble your petals!
Slowly place your petals together and use small
amounts of water/edible glue to the tip to
secure them.
Step 11.
Finish your flower off with the perfect sized
centre quill.
