Using A Rose Silicone Mold with Fondant

A couple of years ago, I was asked to design cookies for a shabby chic dessert table. I used this mold to create the edible roses. Here’s how I did it….

Creating Edible Roses
First, color a small piece of your favorite fondant (I used Satin Ice) with an edible gel color (I used Americolor Peach). Then lightly dust the rose mold with corn starch or powdered sugar (I use a mixture of both). Push a piece of your colored fondant into the mold making sure it gets into all of the nooks + crannies. Flatten and remove the excess fondant around the edges. Gently push the fondant rose from the mold. Let the roses dry completely before painting the outer edges with a mixture of vodka or lemon extract and gold luster dust. Once the roses are dried and painted, glue the completed fondant roses onto your cookies with royal icing. You could also make these gorgeous roses to place on top of cupcakes or decorate wedding cakes with.

Go be creative and try using any of the larger flower molds we feature in the shop to make edible flowers with.
